وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا صَالِحٍ، قَالَ:
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: « 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 ».

✧ 'Ali ؓ said: "Ask me, for you will not ask someone like me, and you will never ask someone like me." Ibn al-Kawwa' said: "Tell us about two sisters who are owned as slaves, and about the daughter of a brother through breastfeeding." He said: "Ask about what concerns you, for you are wandering in confusion." He said: "I only ask you about what we do not know. As for what we know, we do not ask about it." He said: "As for two sisters owned as slaves, one verse permitted them and another verse forbade them. I do not command it, nor do I forbid it, nor do I or my household do it."
