أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَسْوَدِ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَقُلْتُ لاَ آذَنُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمَّا جَاءَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قُلْتُ لَهُ جَاءَ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ . فَقَالَ " ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ " . قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ . قَالَ " ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ " .
Al-Rabi' ibn Sulayman ibn Dawud reported to us; he said: Abu al-Aswad and Ishaq ibn Bakr narrated to us; they said: Bakr ibn Mudar narrated to us, from Ja'far ibn Rabi'ah, from Irak ibn Malik, from Urwah, from A'ishah, who said: Aflah, the brother of Abu al-Qays, came asking permission to enter. I said, ‘I will not let him in until I ask the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).’ When the Prophet of Allah came, I said to him, ‘Aflah, the brother of Abu al-Qays, came asking permission, but I refused to let him in.’ He said: ‘Let him in, for he is your uncle.’ I said, ‘Only Abu al-Qays’s wife nursed me; the man did not nurse me.’ He said: ‘Let him in, for he is your uncle.’
Translation notes
The report preserves the distinction that Abu al-Qays’s wife nursed A'ishah, while the man himself did not; the Prophet twice identifies him as her uncle.
