Hadith 25073

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاء ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّمَا الرَّضَاعَةُ مِنَ الْمَجَاعَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The relationship of suckling is due to hunger (the period of which is two and a half years, and during this time the child's hunger is satisfied with this milk).
