حدثنا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حدثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَت عَائِشَةُ : دَخَلَ عَلَيّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَنْدِي رَجُلٌ قَاعِدٌ ، فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَرَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، قَالَت : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ، قَالَت : فقَالَ : " انْظُرْنَ إِخْوَتَكُنَّ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ، فَإِنَّمَا الرَّضَاعَةُ مِنَ الْمَجَاعَةِ " ،
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) visited me when a man was sitting near me, and he seemed to disapprove of that. And I saw signs of anger on his face and I said: Messenger of Allah, he is my brother by forsterage, whereupon he said: Consider who your brothers are because of fosterage since fosterage is through hunger (i. e. in infancy).
