Sunan an-Nasai 3318 (Book 26, Hadith 123) #17930
Respect for Relatives

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of respecting one's relatives, even if they are not related by blood.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Aflah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais, came and asked permission to enter, and I said: 'I will not let him in until I seek the permission of the Prophet of Allah'. When the Prophet of Allah came, I said to him: 'Aflah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais, came and asked permission to enter, but I refused to let him in'. He said: 'Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle'. I said: 'The wife of Abu Al-Qu'ais breast-fed me; the man did not breast-feed me'. He said: 'Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle'."
أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَسْوَدِ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَقُلْتُ لاَ آذَنُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ لَهُ جَاءَ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ

Respect your relatives regardless of how close or distant they may be

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of respecting one's relatives, even if they are not related by blood. It was narrated that 'Aishah said that her paternal uncle Aflah asked permission to enter her house and she refused until she sought permission from the Prophet of Allah. When the Prophet of Allah came, he told her to let him in because he was her paternal uncle. Even though 'Aishah pointed out that Aflah did not breastfeed her, which would have made him a closer relative according to Islamic law, the Prophet still insisted on letting him in because he was still considered a relative. This hadith teaches us that we should respect our relatives regardless of how close or distant they may be and treat them with kindness and compassion as we would any other family member.
