أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ عَمِّي أَفْلَحُ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ فَلَمْ آذَنْ لَهُ فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّکِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُکِ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّکِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3325
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “My paternal uncle Aflah asked permission to enter upon me after the (Verse of) Hijab had been revealed, but I did not let him in. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came to me and I asked him (about that) and he said: ‘Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle.’ I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, the woman breast-fed me, not the man.’ He said: ‘Let him in, may your hands be rubbed with dust, for he is your uncle.” (Sahih)
