2058. ‘Āishah narrated: “Once the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ visited me and saw a man sitting with me.” — Hafṣ (one of the narrators) said: “He disapproved of that, and his face changed.” — “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! He is my brother through fosterage.’ He replied: ‘Be careful regarding your brothers, for breast-feeding is (only established through) through hunger.’” (Saḥīḥ)
2058 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا رَجُلٌ، قَالَ حَفْصٌ: فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، فَقَالَ: «انْظُرْنَ مَنْ إِخْوَانُكُنَّ، فَإِنَّمَا الرَّضَاعَةُ مِنَ الْمَجَاعَةِ»

Suckling shall be taken into account only if it takes place within a span of two years and with the purpose to feed an infant, that is, when an infant is suckled until it is satisfied. This point has been explained further in another Hadīth, that an infant has been suckled five times.
