6156. Narrated 'Āishah عنها رضي الله عنها: Aflah, the brother of Abul-Qu'ais asked my permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijāb (veiling of ladies) were revealed, and I said, "By Allāh, I will not admit him, unless I take permission of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ for it was not the brother of Abul-Qu'ais who had suckled me, but it was the wife of Abul-Qu'ais who had suckled me." Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ entered upon me, and I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The man has not nursed me but his wife has nursed me." He said, "Admit him because he is your uncle (not from blood relation, but because you have been nursed by his wife), Taribat yamīnuki." Urwa said, "Because of this reason, 'Āishah used to say: Foster suckling relations render all those things (marriages etc.) illegal which are illegal because of the corresponding blood relations." [See Vol. 7, Hadīth No. 5099]
