Sahih Muslim 1448 (Book 17, Hadith 18) #10722
Prohibiting Marriage with Foster Siblings

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) not wanting to marry his foster brother's daughter.

Umm Salama (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Allah's Apostle , said: It was said to the Messenger of Allah : Is not the daughter of Hamza a suitable match for you? Or it was said: Why don't you propose to marry the daughter of Hamza, the son of Abd al-Muttalib? Thereupon he said: Hamza is my brother by reason of fosterage.
وَحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ تَقُولُ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنَةِ حَمْزَةَ ‏.‏ أَوْ قِيلَ أَلاَ تَخْطُبُ بِنْتَ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ حَمْزَةَ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ

This hadith speaks about the importance of family ties and relationships in Islam.
