أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، { عَنْ أَبِيهِ، } عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ، اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ بَعْدَ آيَةِ الْحِجَابِ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ " . فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ . فَقَالَ " إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ " .
Abd al-Warith ibn Abd al-Samad ibn Abd al-Warith reported to us; he said: My father narrated to me—from his father—from Ayyub, from Wahb ibn Kaysan, from Urwah, from A'ishah: Abu al-Qays’s brother asked permission to enter upon A'ishah after the verse of veiling had been revealed, but she refused to admit him. This was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he said: ‘Let him in, for he is your uncle.’ I said, ‘A woman nursed me; the man did not nurse me.’ He said: ‘He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you.’
Translation notes
The report explicitly situates the incident after the verse of veiling and records A'ishah’s question about the man, who had not personally nursed her.
