Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "A
man came to Abdullah ibn Umar when I waswith him at the place where
judgments were given and asked him about the suckling of an older
person. Abdullah ibn Umar replied, 'A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab
and said, 'I have a slave-girl and I used to have intercourse with
her. My wife went to her and suckled her. When I went to the girl, my
wife told me to watch out, because she had suckled her!' Umar told him
to beat his wife and to go to his slave-girl because kinship by
suckling was only by the suckling of the young.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 30, Hadith 14

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that he was asked
about the suckling of an older person. He said, ''Urwa ibn az-Zubayr
informed me that Abu Hudhayfa ibn Utba ibn Rabia, one of the
companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, who was present at Badr, adopted Salim (who is called
Salim, the mawla of Abu Hudhayfa) as the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, adopted Zayd ibn Haritha. He thought of
him as his son, and Abu Hudhayfa married him to his brother's sister,
Fatima bint al-Walid ibn Utba ibn Rabia, who was at that time among
the first emigrants. She was one of the best unmarried women of the
Quraysh. When Allah the Exalted sent down in His Book what He sent
down about Zayd ibn Haritha, 'Call them after their true fathers. That
is more equitable in the sight of Allah. If you do not know who their
fathers were then they are your brothers in the deen and your mawali,'
(Sura 33 ayat 5) people in this position were traced back to their
fathers. When the father was not known, they were traced to their
mawla.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a man
said to Abu Musa al-Ashari, "I drank some milk from my wife's breasts
and it went into my stomach." Abu Musa said, "I can only but think
that she is haram for you." Abdullah ibn Masud said, "Look at what
opinion you are giving the man." Abu Musa said, "Then what do you
say?" Abdullah ibn Masud said, "There is only kinship by suckling in
the first two years."
