Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ عَمَّهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ يُسَمَّى أَفْلَحَ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهَا فَحَجَبَتْهُ فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah reported to us; he said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Irak, from Urwah, from A'ishah, who informed him that her paternal uncle through nursing, named Aflah, asked permission to enter. She kept herself screened from him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was informed. He said: ‘Do not screen yourself from him, for what is forbidden through nursing is forbidden through lineage.’

Translation notes
  • The report identifies Aflah as A'ishah’s paternal uncle through nursing and records the instruction not to maintain the veil from him on that basis.
