Speaking Of Milk Feeding Children In Islamic History
None spoke in the cradle but only three (persons):
1. Hazrat Isa عَÙ„َÙŠْÙ‡ِ ٱلسَّÙ„َامُ the son of Hazrat Mariyam عَÙ„َÙŠْÙ‡ِ ٱلسَّÙ„َامُ,
2. One the companion of Juraij,
3. A babe who was sucking his mother
1. Hazrat Isa عَÙ„َÙŠْÙ‡ِ ٱلسَّÙ„َامُ
The story of Jesus’s [Christ (Hazrat Isa عَÙ„َÙŠْÙ‡ِ ٱلسَّÙ„َامُ) The Son Of Mary (Hazrat Mariyam عَÙ„َÙŠْÙ‡ِ ٱلسَّÙ„َامُ)]
birth, as told in the Qur’an, is also the story of his first miracle when he spoke as an infant in the cradle. Here’s the story:
(Muhammad), mention in the Book (the Qur’an) the story of Mary how she left her family and started living in a solitary place to the East out of her people’s sight.
We sent Our Spirit to her, who stood before her in the shape of a well-formed human being.
Mary said, ‘Would that the Beneficent God would protect me from you. Leave me alone if you are a God-fearing person.’
He [the Spirit] said, ‘Surely I am the Messenger of your Lord. I have come to give you a purified son.’
She said, ‘How can I have a son when no mortal has touched me nor am I an unchaste woman.’
He said, ‘This is true but your Lord says, ‘It is very easy for Me. We have decided to give you a son as evidence (of Our existence) for human beings and a mercy from Us. This is a decree already ordained.’
She conceived the child and retreated with him to a distant and solitary place,
When she started to experience (the pain of) childbirth labour. (Sitting) by the trunk of a palm tree in sadness, she said, ‘Would that I had died long before and passed into oblivion.’
Then she heard the baby saying, ‘Do not be sad. Your Lord has caused a stream to run at your feet.
If you shake the trunk of the dried palm tree, it will provide you with fresh ripe dates. Eat, drink, and rejoice. Should you see a person going by, inform him that on this day you have promised the Beneficent God to fast and not talk to any human being.’ (After some time) She took him (Jesus) to her people and they said, ‘Mary, this is indeed a strange thing.
O’ sister of Aaron, your father was not a bad man nor was your mother unchaste.’
She pointed to the baby (and referred them to him for their answer). They said, ‘How can we talk to a baby in the cradle?’
He [Jesus] said, ‘I am the servant of God. He has given me the Book and has appointed me to be a Prophet.
He has blessed me no matter where I dwell, commanded me to worship Him and pay the religious tax for as long as I live.
He has commanded me to be good to my mother and has not made me an arrogant rebellious person.
Peace be upon me on the day when I was born, the day when I shall die and when I shall be brought to life again.’
[Qur’an, Surah Mariyam 19:16-33]

2. One The Companion Of Juraij
Juraij was one who was devoted to (prayer) in the temple. His mother came to him as he was busy in prayer.
His mother said: O ALLAH! Make my child like this one.
He (the babe) left sucking and began to see towards him, and
Said: O ALLAH! Don't make me like him.
He then returned to the chest and began to suck the milk of his mother.
There happened to pass by him a girl who was being beaten, and
She called: Juraij.
He said: My ALLAH, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged in) my prayer. He continued with the prayer.
She returned, and she came on the next day, and he was busy in prayer, and
She called: Juraij.
He said: My ALLAH, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged) in prayer, and he continued with the prayer, and she went back.
On the next day, she again came, and he was busy in prayer.
She called: Juraij.
He said: My ALLAH, my mother is calling me while I am engaged in my prayer, and he continued with the prayer.
She said: My ALLAH, don't give him death unless he has seen the fate of the prostitutes.
The story of Juraij and that of his meditation and prayer gained currency amongst Bani Isra'il.
There was a prostitute who had been a beauty incarnate.
She said (to the people): If you like I can allure him to evil.
She presented herself to him, but he paid no heed (to her).
He said: My ALLAH, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged in) my prayer. He continued with the prayer.

She presented herself to him, but he paid no heed (to her).
Furthermore, she came to a shepherd who lived near the temple, and she offered herself to him, and he had sexual intercourse with her, and so she became pregnant arid.
When she gave birth to a child she said: This is from Juraij.
So they came and asked him to get down and demolished the temple and began to beat him.
He asked: What is the matter?
They said: You have committed fornication with this prostitute, and she has given birth to a child from your loins.
He said: Where is the child?
They brought him (the child).
He said: just leave me so that I should observe prayer. And he observed prayer and when he finished, he came to the child. He struck his stomach and
said: O boy, who is your father?
Lie said: He is such a shepherd.
So they turned towards Juraij, kissed him and touched him (for seeking blessing) and said: We are prepared to construct your temple with gold.
He said. No, just rebuild it with mud as it had been, and they did that.

3. A Baby Who Was Sucking His Mother
There was a baby who was sucking his mother that a person dressed in fine garment came riding upon a beast.
His mother said: O ALLAH! Make my child like this one.
He (the babe) left sucking and began to see towards him, and
Said: O ALLAH! Don't make me like him.
He then returned to the chest and began to suck the milk of his mother.
There happened to pass by him a girl who was being beaten, and
They were saying: You have committed adultery, and you have committed theft, and
She was saying: ALLAH is enough for me, and He is my good Protector.
His mother said: O ALLAH! Don't make my child like her.
He left sucking the milk and looked towards her and
Said: O ALLAH! Make me like her, and
There was a talk between them (Mother and son).
She said: O with a shaven head, a good-looking person happened to pass by, and
His mother said: O ALLAH! Don't make my child like her.

You said: O ALLAH! Don't make me like him.
They passed by a girl while they were beating her and,
Saying: You committed fornication, and you committed theft, and
I said: O ALLAH! don't make my child like her, and
You said:O ALLAH! make me like her.
Thereupon he said: That person was a tyrant, and
Thereupon he said: That person was a tyrant, and
I said: O ALLAH! don't make me like him, and
They were saying about her: You committed fornication whereas, in fact, she had not committed that, and
They were saying: You have committed theft whereas she had not committed theft, so
I said: O ALLAH! Make me like her.
