12. Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā narrated from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, from al-‘Abbās ibn Ma‘rūf, from Ḥammād ibn ‘Īsā, from al-Haytham, from Muḥammad ibn Marwān, who said that Abū Ja‘far (AS) said to me
'Seek a wet nurse for your child from among the beautiful women, and avoid the ugly ones, for the milk can have an influence.'
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) اسْتَرْضِعْ لِوَلَدِكَ بِلَبَنِ الْحِسَانِ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ الْقِبَاحَ فَإِنَّ اللَّبَنَ قَدْ يُعْدِي .
