3310 - أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُحَرِّمُ الْمَصَّةُ، وَالْمَصَّتَانِ»

Commentary
Various wordings have occurred in the reports: Massah, Imlâjah, Khatifah, etc. The import of all these expressions is identical. That means to take the breast into the mouth once, and to continue to suckle until the breast is removed from the infant's mouth. In the same way, the breast milk is considered of no consequence.
