Sahih al-Bukhari 5102 (Book 67, Hadith 40) #4886
Establishing Foster Suckling Relationship

SUMMARY: Foster suckling relationship is established only when milk is the only food of the child.

Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet entered upon her while a man was sitting with her. Signs of answer seemed to appear on his face as if he disliked that. She said, "Here is my (foster) brother". He said, "Be sure as to who is your foster brother, for foster suckling relationship is established only when milk is the only food of the child".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا رَجُلٌ، فَكَأَنَّهُ تَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ أَخِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ انْظُرْنَ مَا إِخْوَانُكُنَّ، فَإِنَّمَا الرَّضَاعَةُ مِنَ الْمَجَاعَةِ

This hadith explains that foster suckling relationships are established when a child is solely fed with milk. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was visiting 'Aisha and saw a man sitting with her, which made him feel uncomfortable. She then explained that he was her foster brother, to which the Prophet ﷺ replied by explaining how foster suckling relationships are formed. He said that it can only be established if the child has been solely fed with milk from its mother or wet nurse. This hadith teaches us about the importance of establishing family ties and also emphasizes on being sure about who our relatives are before claiming them as such.
