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."
