2057. Aishah narrated: "Aflah bin Abi Al-Qu'ais entered upon me, so I covered myself from him. He said: 'Do you cover yourself from me, even though I am your uncle?' I said: 'How so?' He replied: 'My brother's wife breast-fed you.' I replied: 'It was the woman who breast-fed me, not the man.' When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came, I informed him of that, and he replied: 'He is your uncle, so he may visit you.”) (Saḥīḥ)
2057 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ أَفْلَحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَاسْتَتَرْتُ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: تَسْتَتِرِينَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا عَمُّكِ، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ؟ قَالَ: أَرْضَعَتْكِ امْرَأَةُ أَخِي، قَالَتْ: إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ»

A woman who suckles is a foster mother, and, hence, her husband is a foster father, and her brother is a foster uncle. In short, one is connected with the relatives of his or her foster mother in the same way as one's own parents.
