• Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

  حديث المصتان جاء أيضا من طرق صحيحة لكن قد قال بعضهم إنه مضطرب لأنه اختلف فيه هل هو عن عائشة أو عن الزبير أو عن ابن الزبير أو عن أم الفضل

  machine translationThe hadith of the two sucklings (al-maṣṣatān) has also come through authentic chains, but some have said that it is inconsistent (muḍṭarib), because there is disagreement over whether it is from ʿĀʾishah, or from al-Zubayr, or from Ibn al-Zubayr, or from Umm al-Faḍl.

• Abū Zakariyyā Yaḥyá b. Sharaf al-Nawawī

  واعترضت الشافعية على المالكية بحديث المصة والمصتان وأجابوا عنه بأجوبة باطلة لا ينبغي ذكرها لكن ننبه عليها خوفا من الاغترار بها منها أن بعضهم ادعى أنها منسوخة وهذا باطل لا يثبت بمجرد الدعوى ومنها أن بعضهم زعم أنه موقوف على عائشة وهذا خطأ فاحش بل قد ذكره مسلم وغيره من طرق صحاح مرفوعا من رواية عائشة ومن رواية أم الفضل ومنها أن بعضهم زعم أنه مضطرب وهذا غلط ظاهر وجسارة على رد السنن بمجرد الهوى وتوهين صحيحها لنصرة المذاهب

  machine translationThe Shāfiʿīs objected to the Mālikīs with the hadith of the single suckling and the two sucklings, and they answered it with false answers that should not be mentioned, but we point them out for fear that people be deceived by them. Among them is that some claimed it was abrogated, and this is false; it is not established by mere claim. Among them is that some alleged that it is a statement halted at ʿĀʾishah (mawqūf), and this is a gross error; rather, Muslim and others reported it through sound chains as a raised report (marfūʿ) from ʿĀʾishah and from Umm al-Faḍl. Among them is that some alleged that it is inconsistent (muḍṭarib), and this is an obvious mistake and a reckless rejection of the Sunnah by mere whim, and a weakening of what is authentic in order to support the schools of law.
