Imam Husain (a.s) sucked the thumb of the Prophet for nourishment

Kulaini has narrated through his chains of narrators from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) that he said:

“Husain (a) did not have any milk from Fatima (a) nor from other females. They would bring him to the Holy Prophet (s) and he would place his thumb in his mouth and he would suck from it as much as would suffice him for three days. The flesh of Husain (a) grew from that of the Holy Prophet (s) and his blood from his blood. No one has ever been born after six months of pregnancy, except Jesus, son of Mary and Husain Ibne Ali (a).”

It is mentioned in another traditional report from Imam Ali Reza (a) that the Holy Prophet (s) used to make Husain suck his tongue, which satiated him; and he did not suckle any lady.

It is narrated from Huzaifah bin Usaid Ghiffari who said: When Hasan bin Ali bade farewell to Muawiyah and left for Medina, I accompanied him in his journey, and there was a loaded camel in front of him, not separating from him wherever he headed. One day I said to him, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, O Abu Muhammad! This luggage, you do not separate from it wherever you are headed.’ He said: ‘O Huzaifah! Do you know what it is?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said: ‘This is the register.’ I said, ‘A register of what?’ He said: ‘Register of our Shias wherein are their names.’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! Show me my name.’ He said: ‘Come in the morning.’ He said: ‘I went to him in the morning and with me was a nephew of mine, and he was literate and I could not read. He said: ‘What have you come for in the morning?’ I said, ‘The need which you promised me.’ He said: ‘Who is that youth with you?’ I said, ‘A nephew of mine, and he is literate, and I am not.’ He (the narrator) said, ‘He said to me: ‘Be seated!’ So, I sat down. He said: ‘Get me the middle register.’ I came with it.’ The youth looked and there were names listed. While he was reading, he said, ‘O uncle! Here is my name!’ I said, ‘May your mother be bereft of you! Look where my name is.’ He turned a page, then said, ‘There is your name.’ So, we cheered, and the youth was martyred with Husain bin Ali” Reference: Basairud Darajaat, Pg. 172, Tr. 6, Miracles of Ahlulbayt (a.s. ) - Vol. 2.Pg.70
