حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَائِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدِي رَجُلٌ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ مَنْ هَذَا قُلْتُ أَخِي مِنْ الرَّضَاعَةِ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ انْظُرْنَ مَنْ إِخْوَانُکُنَّ فَإِنَّمَا الرَّضَاعَةُ مِنْ الْمَجَاعَةِ تَابَعَهُ ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2647
Narrated Aisha: Once the Prophet came to me while a man was in my house. He said, "O `Aisha! Who is this (man)?" I replied, "My foster brothers" He said, "O `Aisha! Be sure about your foster brothers, as fostership is only valid if it takes place in the suckling period (before two years of age).
