أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ
كَتَبْنَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيِّ نَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ فَكَتَبَ أَنَّ شُرَيْحًا

"We wrote to Ibrahim bin Yazid An-Nakha'i asking him about breast-feeding. He wrote back saying that Shuraih had narrated that 'Ali and Ibn Mas'ud used to say: 'A little or a lot of breast-feeding makes marriage prohibited.'" In his book, it said that Abu Ash-Sha'tha' Al-Muharibi narrated that 'Aishah had told him that the Prophet of Allah used to say: "Suckling (Al-Khatfah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited."
Notes
حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ عَلِيًّا وَابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ قَلِيلُهُ وَكَثِيرُهُ وَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّ أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ الْمُحَارِبِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ لاَ تُحَرِّمُ الْخَطْفَةُ وَالْخَطْفَتَانِ
machine translationIt was narrated to us that ʿAlī and Ibn Masʿūd used to say: "Little or much of suckling makes marriage unlawful." And in his book there was: Abū al-Shaʿthāʾ al-Muḥāribī narrated to us that ʿĀʾishah narrated to him that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to say: "One snatch and two snatches do not make it unlawful."

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- ابن اللجام علي بن خلف القرطبي
أحاديث عائشة كلها مضطربة فوجب تركها والرجوع إلى كتاب الله تعالى
machine translationThe hadiths of ʿĀʾishah are all inconsistent (muḍṭarib), so it is obligatory to leave them and return to the Book of Allah, the Exalted.
in سنن النسائي, p. 3313 - 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.
in سنن النسائي, p. 3313 - 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.
