3308. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that the daughter of Hamzah was suggested to Messenger of Allâh ﷺ (as a potential wife). He said: "She is the daughter of my brother through breast-feeding, and what becomes unlawful (for marriage) through breast-feeding is the same as that which becomes unlawful through lineage." (Sahîh)
3306 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَاءٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُرِيدَ عَلَى بِنْتِ حَمْزَةَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، وَإِنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ»

The daughter of Hamza ﷺ was the Prophet's ﷺ sister from the side of his uncle, by reason of genealogy; the Prophet's ﷺ marriage to her was lawful. This is why Ali ﷺ proposed her marriage with the Prophet ﷺ. But she was the Prophet's ﷺ foster niece also. This was because Thawbiyah had suckled the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and Hamza. Hence, Hamza was the Prophet's ﷺ brother by reason of fosterage.
