The mothers shall give such to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be Treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no blame on them. If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no blame on you, provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms. But fear Allah and know that Allah sees well what ye do.

O Prophet! When believing women come to thee to take the oath of fealty to thee, that they will not associate in worship any other thing whatever with Allah, that they will not steal, that they will not commit adultery (or fornication), that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood, and that they will not disobey thee in any just matter,- then do thou receive their fealty, and pray to Allah for the forgiveness (of their sins): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

做母亲的，应当替欲哺满乳期的人，哺乳自己的婴儿两周岁。做父亲的，应当照例供给她们的衣食。每个人只依他的能力而受责成。不要使做母亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏，也不要使做父亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏。（如果做父亲的死了），继承人应负同样的责任。如果做父母的欲依协议而断乳，那末，他们俩毫无罪过。如果你们另顾乳母哺乳你们的婴儿，那末，你们毫无罪过，但须交付照例应给的工资。你们当敬畏真主，当知道真主是明察你们的行为的。

先知啊！如果信女们到你面前来与你誓约：她们不以任何物配真主，不偷盗，不通奸，不杀自己的儿女，不以别人的儿子冒充丈夫的儿子，不违背你的合理的命令，那末，你当与她们誓约，你当为她们向真主告饶。真主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。
