أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، نا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، نا هُشَيْمٌ، أنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا وَلَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لَتِسْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ كَفَاهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ أَحَدٌ وَعِشْرِينَ شَهْرًا، وَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ لَسَبْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ كَفَاهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ ثَلَاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ شَهْرًا وَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ لِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ كَفَاهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ شَهْرًا كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ: وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when a woman gives birth after nine months, twenty-one months of breastfeeding suffice her; when she gives birth after seven months, twenty-three months of breastfeeding (that is, nursing the child) suffice her; and when she gives birth after six months, twenty-four months of breastfeeding suffice her, just as Allah Almighty has said: 'And his bearing and his weaning is thirty months' [Surah al-Ahqaf: 15].
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، نا أَبُو بَدْرٍ شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي الْقَصَّافِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ " أُتِيَ بِامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ لِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ فَهَمَّ بِرَجْمِهَا " فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: " لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا رَجْمٌ " فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: " {وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ} [البقرة: ٢٣٣] وَقَالَ: {وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ} [الأحقاف: ١٥] ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا فَسِتَّةُ أَشْهُرٍ حَمْلُهُ حَوْلَيْنِ تَمَامٌ لَا حَدَّ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ قَالَ: لَا رَجْمَ عَلَيْهَا " قَالَ: " فَخَلَّى عَنْهَا ثُمَّ وَلَدَتْ ".
It is narrated from Abu Harb bin Abi al-Aswad al-Dili that a woman who had given birth after six months was brought to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to stone her. This reached Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: There is no stoning upon her. This reached Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so he sent a messenger to him to ask him, and he said: 'And mothers shall breastfeed their children for two complete years, for whoever wishes to complete the nursing' [Surah al-Baqarah: 233], and He said: 'And his bearing and his weaning is thirty months' [Surah al-Ahqaf: 15]. So six months is the period of his bearing and two years is the period of his weaning; there is no prescribed punishment (hadd) upon her, or he said: there is no stoning upon her. So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) let her go, and then she gave birth.
وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، نا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، نا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي الْقَصَّافِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ " رُفِعَتْ إِلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ فَذَكَرَهُ كَذَا فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ عُمَرُ وَكَذَلِكَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ مُرْسَلًا.
Likewise (through another chain).
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ⦗٧٢٧⦘ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبُوشَنْجِيُّ، نا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، نا مَالِكٌ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ " أُتِيَ بِامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ فِي سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُرْجَمَ " فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا} [الأحقاف: ١٥] وَقَالَ: {وَفِصَالُهُ فِي عَامَيْنِ} [لقمان: ١٤] وَقَالَ: {وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ} [البقرة: ٢٣٣] فَالرَّضَاعَةُ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ شَهْرًا وَالْحَمْلُ سِتَّةُ أَشْهُرٍ " فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُثْمَانُ " أَنْ تُرَدَّ فَوُجِدَتْ قَدْ رُجِمَتْ " وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said that it reached him that a woman who had given birth after six months was brought to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered that she be stoned, whereupon Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Stoning is not due upon her. Allah Almighty has said: "And the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months" [Surah al-Ahqaf: 15]; and He said: "And his weaning is in two years" [Surah Luqman: 14]; and He said: "Mothers shall breastfeed their children for two complete years" [Surah al-Baqarah: 233]. So the period of breastfeeding is twenty-four months and the period of pregnancy is six months. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an order concerning her, and she was to be brought back, but it was found that she had already been stoned. And Allah knows best.
