that the Prophet ﷺ entered upon her while a man was sitting with her. Signs of answer seemed to appear on his face as if he disliked that. She said, "Here is my (foster) brother." He said, "Be sure as to who is your foster brother, for foster suckling relationship is established only when milk is the only food of the child."

A’ishah said the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ visited her when a man was with her. The narrator Hafs said “this grieved him and he frowned”. The agreed version then goes, She said “He is my foster brother Apostle of Allaah ﷺ”. He said “Consider, who are you brethren, for fosterage is consequent on hunger.”
