Al-Bara bin Azib (رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, ‘the maternal aunt holds the same status as the mother.’ Imam Tirmidhi said, this Hadith is Hasan Sahih. There is long story associated with this Hadith. There is another chain for this Hadith from Ibn Umar. A man came to the Prophet ( صلى هللا عليه وآله وسلم) and said, ‘O Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), I have been afflicted by a tremendous sin. Is there any repentance for me?’ He said, ‘do you have your mother?’ The man said, ‘no.’ He said, ‘do you have any maternal aunts? The man said, ‘yes.’ The Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, ‘then be dutiful to them.’ There is yet another chain for this Hadith from Abu Bakr bin Hafs (رضي الله تعالى عنه), from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), and it is similar, but he did not mention ‘from Ibn Umar ( رضي الله تعالى عنه) in it. This is more correct than the Hadith of Abu Mu'awiyah. Abu Bakr bin Hafs is Ibn Umar bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (narrators in the chain of this Hadith).
