Hadith 5924
The Prophet (ﷺ) intended to return home after the performance of the Hajj, and he saw Safiya standing at
the entrance of her tent, depressed and sad because she got her menses. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Aqra
Halqa! --An expression used in the Quraish dialect--"You will detain us." The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked
(her), "Did you perform the Tawaf Al-Ifada on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhul-Hijja)?" She said,
"Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then you can leave (with us).

Allah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais asked my permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijab (veiling
the ladies) was revealed, and I said, "By Allah, I will not admit him unless I take permission of Allah's
Apostle for it was not the brother of Al-Qu'ais who had suckled me, but it was the wife of Al-Qu'ais,
who had suckled me." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon me, and I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The man
has not nursed me but his wife has nursed me." He said, "Admit him because he is your uncle (not
from blood relation, but because you have been nursed by his wife), Taribat Yaminuki." `Urwa said,
"Because of this reason, ' Aisha used to say: Foster suckling relations render all those things
(marriages etc.) illegal which are illegal because of the corresponding blood relations." (See Hadith

(the daughter of Abu Talib) I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of the Conquest of Mecca and found
him taking a bath, and his daughter, Fatima was screening him. When I greeted him, he said, "Who is
it?" I replied, "I am Um Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib." He said, "Welcome, O Um Hani ! " When
the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his bath, he stood up and offered eight rak`at of prayer while he was wrapped
in a single garment. When he had finished his prayer, I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My maternal brother
assumes (or claims) that he will murder some man whom I have given shelter, i.e., so-and-so bin
Hubaira." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Um Hani! We shelter him whom you have sheltered." Um Hani
added, "That happened in the forenoon." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 184
