My brother and I came from Yemen (to Medina) and remained for some time, thinking that Ibn Masud and his mother belonged to the family of the Prophet ﷺ because of their frequent entrance (upon the Prophet) and their being attached to him.
فَمَكَثْنَا حِينًا مَا نُرَى ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَأُمَّهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ دُخُولِهِمْ وَلُزُومِهِمْ لَهُ

When I and my brother came from Yemen we used to consider Ibn Mas'ud and his mother amongst the members of the household. of Messenger of Allah ﷺ because of their visiting them frequently and staying there for long (periods of) time.
قَدِمْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَكُنَّا حِينًا وَمَا نُرَى ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَأُمَّهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ دُخُولِهِمْ وَلُزُومِهِمْ لَهُ
My brother and I came from Yemen (to Medina) and remained for some time, thinking that Ibn Masud and his mother belonged to the family of the Prophet ﷺ because of their frequent entrance (upon the Prophet) and their being attached to him. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4384)
«قَدِمْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي مِنَ الْيَمَنْ عَلَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَكَثْنَا حِينًا وَمَا نَحْسُبُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَأُمَّهُ إِلَّا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ دُخُولِهِمْ وَلُزُومِهِمْ لَهُ»
