يعقوب (report 2177; identity unresolved)

al-ʿAbbas ibn Hamza al-Naysaburi related to us; he said: Ahmad ibn ʿIsa related to us; he said: Ibn Wahb related to me; he said: al-Layth used to relate from Yaʿqub, from al-Nuʿman, from Hammad, from Ibrahim, may God have mercy on them; he said: If a man divorces his wife and they have a young child, the father is responsible for nursing and the child stays with the mother. If the mother nurses him for a wage equal to that for which another woman would nurse, she has the greater right to him. If she wants more, he is given to another woman. Yaʿqub said: Abu Hanifa held this position and also said: I do not take him out of the mother's hands; the wet nurse moves so that he stays with the mother as long as the mother does not marry. Al-Layth said: How excellent his statement is!
