Al-Bara bin `Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying: "A mothers sister is equivalent to (real) mother (in status)".[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that one should be as respectful to one's aunt (mother's real sister) as one is to mother, as it is a virtue as well as "a form of maintaining the ties of kinship".
