17/1. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا، وَأَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ صَوْتَ رَجُلٍ يَسْتَأْذِنَ فِي بَيْتِ حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُرَاهُ فُلَانًا (لِعَمِّ حَفْصَةَ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ) فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هذَا رَجُلٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فِي بَيْتِكَ، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أُرَاهُ فُلَانًا (لِعَمِّ حَفْصَةَ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ) فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ؛ لَوْ كَانَ فُلَانٌ حَيًّا (لِعَمِّهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ) دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ، إِنَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الْوِلَادَةِ.
While the Prophet ﷺ was with me (in my house) I heard a man asking Hafsa's permission to enter her house. 'Âisha رضى الله عنها said, "I said, O Allâh's Messenger! I think the man is Hafsa's foster uncle." 'Âisha added, "O Allâh's Messenger! There is a man asking the permission to enter your house." Allâh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "I think the man is Hafsa's foster uncle."'Âisha said, "If so-and-so were living (i.e. her foster uncle) would he be allowed to visit me?" Allâh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Yes, he would, as the foster suckling relations are treated like blood relations (in marital affairs)," (i.e. those things which are illegal because of blood relation are to be considered illegal because of the corresponding foster suckling relations).( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 814, Vol. 3 )
17/2. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ بَعْدَمَا أُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا آذَنُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ فِيهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَإِنَّ أَخَاهُ أَبَا الْقُعَيْسِ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي، وَلكِنْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ اسْتَأْذَنَ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: وَمَا مَنَعَكِ أَنْ تَأْذَنِينَ عَمُّكِ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ ⦗١٠٣⦘ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي، وَلكِنْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَقَالَ: ائْذَنِي لَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ، تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ.
Aflah, brother of Abî Al-Qu'ais, asked permission to visit me after the order of Al-Hijâb was revealed. I said, "I will not permit him unless I take the permission of the Prophet ﷺ about him, for, it was not the brother of Abî Al-Qu'ais, but the wife of Abî Al-Qu'ais that nursed me."The Prophet ﷺ entered upon me, and I asked him, "O Allâh's Messenger! Aflah, the brother of Abî Al-Qu'ais asked the permission to visit me but I refused to permit him unless I took your permission." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What stopped you from permitting him? He is your uncle." I said, "O Allâh's Messenger! The man was not the person who had nursed me, but the woman, the wife of Abî Al-Qu'ais had nursed me." He said, "Admit him, for he is your uncle. Taribat Yaminuki (may your right hand be in dust)."( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 319, Vol. 6)
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَفْلَحُ فَلَمْ آذَنْ لَهُ فَقَالَ: أَتَحْتَجِبِينَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا عَمُّكِ فَقُلْتُ: وَكَيْفَ ذلِكَ قَالَ: أَرْضَعَتْكِ امْرَأَةُ أَخِي بِلَبَنِ أَخِي فَقَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ أَفْلَحُ، ائْذَنِي لَهُ.
Aflah asked permission to visit me but I did not allow him. He said, "Do you veil yourself before me although I am your uncle?" 'Aisha said, "How is that?" Aflah replied, "You were suckled by my brother's wife with my brother's milk." I asked Allâh's Messenger ﷺ about it, and he said, "Aflah is right, so permit him to visit you." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 812, Vol. 3)
17/3. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فِي بِنْتِ حَمْزَةَ: لَا تَحِلُّ لِي، يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ، هِيَ بِنْتُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ.
The Prophet ﷺ said about Hamza's daughter, "I am not legally permitted to marry her, as foster suckling relations are treated like blood relations (in marital affairs). She is the daughter of my foster brother." ( Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 813, Vol. 3 )
17/4. Chapter:
حديث أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ: فَأَفْعَلُ مَاذَا قُلْتُ: تَنْكِحُ؛ قَالَ: أَتُحِبِّينَ قُلْتُ: لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ، وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرَكَنِي فِيكَ أُخْتِي قَالَ: إِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِي قُلْتُ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ ⦗١٠٤⦘ قَالَ: ابْنَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي، أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ، فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ.
I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Do you like to have (my sister) the daughter of Abû Sufyân?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "What shall I do (with her)?" I said, "Marry her." He said, "Do you like that?" I said, "(Yes), for even now I am not your only wife, so I like that my sister should share you with me." He said, "She is not lawful for me (to marry)." [1]I said, "We have heard that you want to marry." He said, "The daughter of Umm Salma!" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my step-daughter, she would be unlawful for me to marry, for Thuwaiba suckled me and her father (Abû Salama)." [2] So you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters to me."( Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 42, Vol. 7 )
[1] Because it is prohibited to marry the sister of one's wife if that wife is still alive.[2] This means that the daughter of Umm Salama was the foster-niece of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم .
17/8. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، وَعِنْدِي رَجُلٌ، قَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ مَنْ هذَا قُلْتُ: أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ قَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ انْظُرْنَ مَنْ إِخْوَانُكُنَّ، فَإِنَّمَا الرَّضَاعَةُ مِنَ المَجَاعَةِ.
Once the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came to me while a man was in my house. He said, “O ‘Âisha ! Who is this (man)?” I replied, “My foster suckling brother.” He said, “O ‘Âisha! Be sure about your foster suckling brothers, as suckling foster-ship is only valid if it takes place in the suckling period (before two years of age as the child sucks with hunger).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 815, Vol. 3)
17/10. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فِي غُلَامٍ؛ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: هذَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ، انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: هذَا أَخِي، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ وَلِيدَتِهِ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ فَرَأَى شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ، فَقَالَ: هُوَ لَكَ ⦗١٠٥⦘ يَا عَبْدُ، الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ، وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَة بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ فَلَمْ تَرَهُ سَوْدَةُ قَطُّ.
Sa’d bin Abî Waqqâs and ‘Abd bin Zam‘a quarrelled over a boy. Sa’d said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! This boy is the son of my brother (‘Utba bin Abî Waqqâs) who took a promise from me that I would take him as he was his (illegal) son. Look at him and see whom he resembles.” ‘Abd bin Zam‘a said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! This is my brother and was born on my father’s bed from his slave-girl.”Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم cast a glance at the boy and found definite resemblance to ‘Utba and then said, “O ‘Abd bin Zam‘a, the boy is for you. The child goes to the owner of the bed and the adulterer gets nothing but the stones (despair i.e. to be stoned to death).” Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “O Sauda bint Zam‘a! Screen yourself from this boy.” So Sauda never saw him again. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 421, Vol. 3)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: الْوَلَدُ لِصَاحِبِ الْفِرَاشِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The boy is for the owner of the bed.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 742, Vol. 8)
17/11. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ مَسْرُورٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ أَلَمْ تَرَىْ أَنَّ مُجَزِّزًا الْمُدْلِجِيَّ دَخَلَ فَرَأَى أُسَامَةَ وَزَيْدًا، وَعَلَيْهِمَا قَطِيفَةٌ قَدْ غَطَّيَا رُؤوسَهُمَا، وَبَدَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هذِهِ الأَقْدَامَ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ.
Once Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم entered upon me and he was in a very happy mood and said, "O 'Aisha! Don't you know that Mujazziz Al-Mudliji entered and saw Usâma and Zaid with a velvet-covering on them and their heads were covered (too) while their feet were uncovered. He (Al-Mudliji) said: 'These feet belong to each other.' [1] ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 762, Vol. 8)
[1] The Qaif learned through examining their feet, that they were father and son.
17/12. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: مِنَ السُّنَّةِ، إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ الْبِكْرَ عَلَى الثَّيِّبِ، أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا سَبْعًا، وَقَسَمَ؛ وَإِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الثَّيِّبَ عَلَى الْبِكْرِ، أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَسَمَ.
It is from As-Sunna (legal ways of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ) that if someone married a virgin and he has already a matron wife, then he should stay for seven days with her (the virgin) and then by turns; and if someone marries a matron and he had already a virgin wife, then he should stay with her (the matron) for three days, and then by turns. ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 141, Vol. 7)
