Narrated ‘Aisha:
Some people asked Allah’s Apostle about the fore-tellers. Allah’s Apostle said to them, “They are
nothing (i.e., liars).” The people said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle ! Sometimes they tell something which comes
out to be true.” Allah’s Apostle said, “That word which comes to be true is what a jinx snatches away
by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his fore-teller with a sound similar to the cackle of a hen,
and then they add to it one-hundred lies.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu’ais asked my permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijab (veil –
ing the ladies) was revealed, and I said, “By Allah, I will not admit him unless I take permission of Al –
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.”
‘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

out of them as a hair is taken out of dough.”

the pagans).”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Whenever Allah’s Apostle was given the choice of one of two matters he would choose the easier
of the two as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful, he would not approach it. Allah’s
Apostle never took revenge over anybody for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah’s legal bind –
ings were outraged, in which case he would take revenge for Allah’s sake.” (See Hadith No. 760. Vol.
4)

Narrated ‘Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play
with me. When Allah’s Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but
the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images
is forbidden, but it was allowed for ‘Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age
of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)
