Chapter 52: Witnesses
Narrated 'Amra bint 'Abdur-Rahman: That 'Aisha the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) told her uncle that once, while the Prophet (ﷺ) was in her house, she
heard a man asking Hafsa' s permission to enter her house. 'Aisha said, "I said, 'O Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)! I
think the man is Hafsa' s foster uncle.' " 'Aisha added, "O Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)! There is a man asking the
permission to enter your house." Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "I think the man is Hafsa' s foster uncle."
'Aisha said, "If so-and-so were living (i. e. her foster uncle) would he be allowed to visit me?" Allah' s
Apostle said, "Yes, he would, as the foster relations are treated like blood relations (in marital affairs).
