Narrated Anas: When Allah's Messenger married Zainab bint Jahsh, he made the people eat meat and bread to their fill (by giving a Walima banquet). Then he went out to the dwelling places of the mothers of the believers (his wives), as he used to do in the morning of his marriage. He would greet them and invoke good on them, and they (too) would return his greeting and invoke good on him. When he returned to his house, he found two men talking to each other; and when he saw them, he went out of his house again. When those two men saw Allah's Messenger : going out of his house, they quickly got up (and departed). I do not remember whether I informed him of their departure, or he was informed (by somebody else). So he returned, and when he entered the house, he lowered the curtain between me and him. Then the Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed.

She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her before could recognize her. So `Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said, O Sauda! By Allah, you cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out. Sauda returned while Allah's Messenger was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with meat was in his hand. She entered and said, O Allah's Messenger ! I went out to answer the call of nature and `Umar said to me so-and-so. Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet) and when the state of inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to Sauda), You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs.

I said, I will not permit him unless I take permission of the Prophet about him for it was not the brother of Abi Al-Qu'ais but the wife of Abi Al-Qu'ais that nursed me. The Prophet entered upon me, and I said to him, O Allah's Messenger ! Allah, the brother of Abi Al-Qu'ais asked permission to visit me but I refused to permit him unless I took your permission. The Prophet said, What stopped you from permitting him? He is your uncle. I said, O Allah's Messenger ! The man was not the person who had nursed me, but the woman, the wife of Abi Al-Qu'ais had nursed me. He said, Admit him, for he is your uncle. Taribat Yaminuki (may your right hand be saved) `Urwa, the sub-narrator added: For that `Aisha used to say, Consider those things which are illegal because of blood relations as illegal because of the corresponding foster relations.
