Hadith 6974

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْهِلَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَوَلَدَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فَاحْتُبِسَ لَبَنُهَا، فَجَعَلَ يَمُصُّهُ وَيَمُجُّهُ فَدَخَلَ حَلْقَهُ فَأَتَى أَبَا مُوسَى فَقَالَ: حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكَ، فَأَتَى ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ إِلَّا مَا أَنْبَتَ اللَّحْمَ وَأَنْشَرَ الْعَظْمَ))
Abu Musa Hilali narrates from his father that a man was on a journey, and his wife gave birth to a child, but her milk stopped. So the man began to suck her milk and then spit it out from his mouth (so that the milk would start flowing), but some of the milk went down his throat. So he came to Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked, and he said: "Your wife has become unlawful for you." Then the man went to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Suckling does not make unlawful until it grows flesh and strengthens bones."

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The child, during the period of breastfeeding, drinks milk through which his flesh grows and his bones increase and become strong. In this way, he becomes such a part of the wet nurse as he is a part of his own parents, and this is the very reason for the prohibition (of marriage due to fosterage).
