3314. It was narrated that Masrûq said: "Aishah said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered upon me and there was a man sitting with me. He got upset about that, and I saw the anger in his face.' I said: "O Messenger of Allâh, he is my brother through breast-feeding." He said: "Be careful who you count as your brothers" - or: "be careful who you count as your brothers through breast-feeding" - "for the breast-feeding (which makes marriage prohibited) is from hunger." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3312 - أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدِي رَجُلٌ قَاعِدٌ، فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَرَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، فَقَالَ: " انْظُرْنَ مَا إِخْوَانُكُنَّ - وَمَرَّةً أُخْرَى: انْظُرْنَ مَنْ إِخْوَانُكُنَّ - مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ مِنَ الْمَجَاعَةِ "

Commentary

The relationship established by breast-feeding takes place in that period of time when the infant solely depends on milk, and its whole subsistence consists of milk only. If it eats any other thing, it is very little. His primary genuine food ought to be milk. And this is valid until the child is two years old.
