Original Arabic wording
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بنت حمزة: «لَا تَحِلُّ لِي يَحْرُمُ من الرَّضَاعِ مَا يَحْرُمُ من النَّسَبِ وهي ابنة أَخِي من الرَّضاعة».Understand this hadith
'Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) wished that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) marry the daughter of their uncle, Hamzah. However, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that she was not permissible for him, because she was the daughter of his foster-brother. Indeed, the Prophet and his uncle Hamzah were breastfed by Thuwaybah, a slave of Abu Lahab. So Hamzah became the Prophet's foster-brother, and the Prophet became uncle of Hamzah's daughter. The rule is that things that are forbidden because of birth (blood relation) are likewise forbidden because of breastfeeding.
