Aflah, the brother of Abi Al-Quʿais, asked permission to visit me after the order of Al-Hijab was revealed. I said, "I will not permit him unless I take permission of the Prophet ﷺ about him for it was not the brother of Abi Al-Quʿais but the wife of Abi Al-Quʿais that nursed me." The Prophet ﷺ entered upon me, and I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Aflah, the brother of Abi Al-Quʿais asked permission to visit me but I refused to permit him unless I took your permission." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What stopped you from permitting him? He is your uncle." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The man was not the person who had nursed me, but the woman, the wife of Abi Al-Quʿais had nursed me." He said, "Admit him, for he is your uncle. Taribat Yaminuki (may your right hand be saved)" ʿUrwa, the sub-narrator added: For that ʿAisha used to say, "Consider those things which are illegal because of blood relations as illegal because of the corresponding foster relations."  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَىَّ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ بَعْدَ مَا أُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ لاَ آذَنُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ فِيهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَإِنَّ أَخَاهُ أَبَا الْقُعَيْسِ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي وَلَكِنْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ اسْتَأْذَنَ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَا مَنَعَكِ أَنْ تَأْذَنِي عَمُّكِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي وَلَكِنْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَقَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَلِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ حَرِّمُوا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا تُحَرِّمُونَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ  

By Allah, I would not permit Aflah unless I have solicited the opinion of Messenger of Allah ﷺ for Abu Qulais has not suckled me, but his wife has given me suck. 'A'isha' (Allah be pleased with her) said: When Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered, I said: Messenger of Allah, Aflah is the brother of Abu'l-Qulais; he came to me to seek my permission for entering (the houst). I did not like the idea of granting him permission until I had solicited your opinion. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Grant him permission. 'Urwa said it was on account of this that 'A'isha used to say. What is unlawful by reason of consanguinity is unlawful by reason of fosterage.  

أَنَّهُ جَاءَ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَ مَا نَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ وَكَانَ أَبُو الْقُعَيْسِ أَبَا عَائِشَةَ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لاَ آذَنُ لأَفْلَحَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ أَبَا الْقُعَيْسِ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي وَلَكِنْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَتُهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ جَاءَنِي يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَىَّ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ائْذَنِي لَهُ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَبِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ حَرِّمُوا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا تُحَرِّمُونَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that A'isha, umm al-muminin said, "My paternal uncle by suckling came to me and I refused to give him permission to enter until I had asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and I asked him about it. He said, 'He is your paternal uncle, so give him permission.' So I said, 'Messenger of Allah! The woman nursed me not the man.' He said, 'He is your paternal uncle, so let him enter.' " A'isha said, "That was after the veil had been imposed on us." A'isha added, "What is haram by birth is made haram by suckling."  

أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ عَلَىَّ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَأْذَنِي لَهُ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الْوِلاَدَةِ  

[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, informed him that her maternal uncle, Abu Al-Qa'is, had come to visit her. Abu Al-Qa'is had breastfed Aisha when she was a baby. He sought permission to enter, but she refused to grant him permission until she mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, my maternal uncle, Abu Al-Qa'is, who breastfed me, has come to seek permission to enter upon me, but I did not grant him permission." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Why would you not grant permission to your uncle?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, it was not him who breastfed me, but his wife." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Allow him to enter when he comes to you, for he is your uncle."  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُ جَاءَهَا أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ وَأَبُو الْقُعَيْسِ أَرْضَعَ عَائِشَةَ فَجَاءَهَا يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمْ آذَنْ لَهُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا يَمْنَعُكِ أَنْ تَأْذَنِي لِعَمِّكِ؟ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا قُعَيْسٍ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَتُهُ؟ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ائْذَنِي لَهُ حِينَ يَأْتِيكِ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ  

[Machine] That Abu Quais's brother was successful. He asked Aisha for permission, but she refused to grant it to him. When the Prophet ﷺ came, she said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Quais's brother asked for my permission, but I refused to grant it to him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allow him." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, it was only a woman who breastfed me, not a man." He said, "Allow him, for he is your uncle through your mother's side."  

أَنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ  

[Machine] Her uncle, the brother of her father Al-Quais, came to seek permission from her after the veiling of women had been commanded. She refused to give him permission until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sought permission for him. When the Prophet ﷺ came, she mentioned this to him, and she said, "My uncle, the brother of my father, came, and I kept repeating it until I sought your permission." He said, "Isn't he your uncle?" She said, "He breastfed me, but I was not breastfed by a man." He said, "He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you." Aisha used to say that what is forbidden by birth is also forbidden by breastfeeding.  

أَنَّ عَمَّهَا أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَسْتَأْذِنَهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَتْ جَاءَ عَمِّي أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَرَدَدْتُهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ قَالَ «أَوَ لَيْسَ بِعَمِّكِ؟» قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ» فَقََالَتْ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الْوِلَادَةِ  

[Machine] She said, "I sought permission from Abu Qais's brother to enter upon him after the veil descended, but I said: By Allah, I will not grant permission to him until I seek permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She added, "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and I said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Qais's brother sought permission from me but I refused to grant him permission until I seek permission from you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "And what prevents you from granting permission to your uncle?" She replied, "O Messenger of Allah, it was not him who breastfed me, it was his wife who breastfed me." He ﷺ said: "He is your uncle, grant him permission, for your right thigh is Haram to him." Urwah said: "That is why Aisha used to say: 'Forbidding what is forbidden by lineage should also be applied to breastfeeding.'"  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَا آذَنُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ فِيهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَمَا يَمْنَعُكِ أَنْ تَأْذَنِي لِعَمِّكِ»؟ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْضَعَنِي إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَتُهُ قَالَ ﷺ «هُوَ عَمُّكِ ائْذَنِي لَهُ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ» قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَلِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ «حَرِّمُوا مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا تُحَرِّمُونَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ»  

[Machine] She said, "My cousin, Abu Qays' brother, asked for permission to see me after the veil was struck upon us. So I said, 'I will not give you permission until the Prophet ﷺ comes.' When the Prophet ﷺ came, I sought his permission and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my cousin, Abu Qays' brother, asked for permission to see me, but I refused to give him permission until I sought your permission. The wife of Abu Qays breastfed me, and Abu Qays did not breastfeed me.' He ﷺ said, 'Give him permission, for he is your uncle.'  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ لَا آذَنُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ وَإِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي أَبُو قُعَيْسٍ فَقَالَ ﷺ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ»  

[Machine] "She said, 'The brother of my father's uncle, Qua'is, requested permission to see me after the veil was struck on us. So I said, 'I will not allow you until the Prophet ﷺ comes.' When the Prophet ﷺ came, I sought his permission and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the brother of my father's uncle, Qua'is, requested permission to see me, and I refused to grant him permission until I seek your permission. The wife of my father's uncle, Qua'is, breastfed me, and Abu Qua'is did not breastfeed me.' So he said, 'Grant him permission, for he is your uncle.'"  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ لَا آذَنُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ وَإِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي أَبُو قُعَيْسٍ فَقَالَ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ»  

[Machine] The brother of my father's uncle came to seek permission from her after the veil was struck, but she refused to give him permission until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and she sought his permission. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, she mentioned that to him. He said, "Did your uncle not come?" She said, "The woman breastfed me and the man did not breastfeed me." He said, "He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you." Aisha considered breastfeeding to establish the relationship similar to that established by birth. They both reported it in Sahih from the Hadith of Hisham bin 'Urwah.  

أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَسْتَأْذِنَهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَتْ جَاءَ عَمِّي أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَرَدَدْتُهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ فَقَالَ أَوَلَيْسَ بِعَمِّكِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَيَلِجُ عَلَيْكِ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ تُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا تُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الْوِلَادَةِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ  

"عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: جَاءَ أَفْلَح أَخُو أبِي القعيس يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: إِنِّي عَمُّهَا فَأَبَتْ أنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: أَفَلَا أَذِنْتِ لِعَمِّكِ؟ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرَأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ، قَالَ: فأذني له فإنَّهُ عَمُّكِ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ، وَكَانَ أبو القعيس أَخَا زَوْجِ المَرْأَةِ الَّتِي أَرْضَعَتْ عَائِشَةَ".
