2644. Narrated 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: Aflah asked the permission to visit me but I did not allow him. He said, "Do you veil yourself before me although I am your uncle?" 'Aīshah said, "How is that?" Aflah replied, "You were suckled by my brother's wife with my brother's milk." I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about it, and he said, "Aflah is right, so permit him to visit you." you practise publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allāh will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good.

2644 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الحَكَمُ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَفْلَحُ، فَلَمْ آذَنْ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَتَحْتَجِبِينَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا عَمُّكِ، فَقُلْتُ: وَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: أَرْضَعَتْكِ امْرَأَةُ أَخِي بِلَبَنِ أَخِي، فَقَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «صَدَقَ أَفْلَحُ ائْذَنِي لَهُ»
