Allah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu’ais asked my permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijab (veil –

lah’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 Apostle entered upon me, and I said, “O Allah’s Apostle!
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.”

wrapped in a single garment. When he had finished his prayer, I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! My mater –
