قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ قَالَ : إِنَّ ابْنَ الْكَوَّاءِ سَأَلَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْأَمَتَيْنِ الْأُخْتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَحَلَّتْهُمَا آيَةٌ ، وَحَرَّمَتْهُمَا آيَةٌ ، وَلَا أَفْعَلُهُ أَنَا ، وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي ، وَلَا أُحِلُّهُ ، وَلَا أُحَرِّمُهُ ".
1734 \ 2 - وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا صَالِحٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : " سَلُونِي فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَسْأَلُونَ مِثْلِي ، وَلَنْ تَسْأَلُوا مِثْلِي " .
فَقَالَ ابْنُ الْكَوَّاءِ : أَخْبِرْنَا عَنِ الْأُخْتَيْنِ الْمَمْلُوكَتَيْنِ ، وَعَنِ ابْنَةِ الْأَخِ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : سَلْ عَمَّا يَعْنِيكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ فِي التِّيهِ . فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَمَّا لَا نَعْلَمُهُ ، فَأَمَّا مَا نَعْلَمُ فَإِنَّا لَا نَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ . قَالَ : " أَمَّا الْأُخْتَانِ الْمَمْلُوكَتَانِ فَأَحَلَّتْهُمَا آيَةٌ ، وَحَرَّمَتْهُمَا آيَةٌ ، وَلَا آمُرُ بِهِ ، وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ ، وَلَا أَفْعَلُهُ أَنَا وَلَا أَهْلُ بَيْتِي ".

It is narrated from Abu Salih al-Hanafi (may Allah have mercy on him) that Ibn al-Kawwa' asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about two slave women who are sisters of one another. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "One verse has made them lawful and another verse has made them unlawful. I myself do not do it, nor does anyone of my household, and I neither declare it lawful nor declare it unlawful."
According to the narration of Imam Abu Ya'la, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Ask me! For you will not find (in your time) anyone like me to ask, and you will never again be able to ask anyone like me." Thereupon Ibn al-Kawwa' said: "Tell us about two owned sisters and about the foster niece (brother's daughter through nursing)." He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Ask about what concerns you, for you are wandering in the valley of aimless bewilderment." He said: "I am only asking you about what we do not know; as for what we know, we do not ask about it." He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "As for two sisters who are owned, one verse, 'or what your right hands possess' [Surah al-Nisa: 3], has made them lawful in general, and another verse, 'and that you combine two sisters' [Surah al-Nisa: 23], has made (combining two sisters at the same time) unlawful. So I neither command it nor forbid it, and neither I myself do it nor does anyone of my household."
