It was narrated from 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet, and Umm Salamah the wife of the Prophet that Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin Abd Shams --who was one of those who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah-- adopted Salim --who was the freed slave of an Ansari woman-- as the Messenger of Allah had adopted Zaid bin Harithah. Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah married Salim to his brother's daughter Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah. Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah was one of the first Muhajir women, and at that time she was one of the best single women of the Quraish. When Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed the following concerning Zaid bin Harithah: "Call them by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you know not their fathers' (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawalikum (your freed slaves).' Each of them went back to being called after his father, and if a person's father was unknown, he was named after his former masters.

Abu Hudhaifa bin ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa bin ʿAbdi Shams who had witnessed the battle of Badr along with the Prophet ﷺ adopted Salim as his son, to whom he married his niece, Hind bint Al-Walid bin ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa; and Salim was the freed slave of an Ansar woman, just as the Prophet ﷺ had adopted Zaid as his son. It was the custom in the Pre-lslamic Period that if somebody adopted a boy, the people would call him the son of the adoptive father and he would be the latter's heir. But when Allah revealed the Divine Verses: 'Call them by (the names of) their fathers . . . your freed-slaves,' (33.5) the adopted persons were called by their fathers' names. The one whose father was not known, would be regarded as a Maula and your brother in religion. Later on Sahla bint Suhail bin ʿAmr Al-Quraishi Al-ʿAmiri-- and she was the wife of Abu- Hudhaifa bin ʿUtba--came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We used to consider Salim as our (adopted) son, and now Allah has revealed what you know (regarding adopted sons)." The sub-narrator then mentioned the rest of the narration.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin 'Abd Shams --who was one of those who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah-- adopted Salim and married him to his brother's daughter, Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin 'Abd Shams, and he was a freed slave of an Ansari woman --as the Messenger of Allah had adopted Zaid. During the Jahiliyyah, if a man adopted someone, the people would call him his son, and he would inherit from his legacy, until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed about that: 'Call them by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you know not their fathers' (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawalikum (your freed slaves)." Then if a person's father's name was not known, he would be their freed slave and brother in faith.

A’ishah wife of the Prophet ﷺ and Umm Salamah said “Abu Hudaifah bin ‘Utbah bin Rabi’ah bin ‘Abd Shams adopted Salim as his son and married him to his niece Hind, daughter of Al Walid bin ‘Utbah bin Rabi’ah. He (Salim) was the freed slave of a woman from the Ansar (the Helpers) as the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ adopted Zaid as his son. In pre Islamic days when anyone adopted a man as his son, the people called him by his name and he was given a share from his inheritance. Allaah, the Exalted, revealed about this matter “Call them by (the name of) their fathers, that is juster in the sight of Allaah. And if ye know not their fathers, then (they are) your brethren in the faith and your clients. They were then called by their names of their fathers. A man, whose father was not known, remained under the protection of someone and considered brother in faith. Sahlah daughter of Suhail bin Amr Al Quraishi then came and said Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, we used to consider Salim(our) son. He dwelled with me and Abu Hudhaifah in the same house, and he saw me in the short clothes, but Allaah the Exalted, has revealed about them what you know, then what is your opinion about him? The Prophet ﷺ said give him your breast feed. She gave him five breast feeds. He then became like her foster son. Hence, A’ishah(may Allaah be pleased with her) used to ask the daughters of her sisters and the daughters of her brethren to give him breast feed five times, whom A’ishah wanted to see and who wanted to visit her. Though he might be of age; he then visited her. But Umm Salamah and all other wives of the Prophet ﷺ refused to allow anyone to visit them on the basis of such breast feeding unless one was given breast feed during infancy. They told A’ishah by Allaah we do not know whether that was a special concession granted by the Prophet ﷺ to Salim exclusive of the people. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2061)

[Machine] That Abu Hudhaifa ibn Utbah ibn Rabiah was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he had participated in the Battle of Badr. He had adopted a man named Salim, who was called Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa. Similar to how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had adopted Zaid ibn Haritha. Abu Hudhaifa had married Salim to his nephew's daughter, Fatimah bint al-Walid ibn Utbah. At that time, she was one of the early emigrants (muhajirat) and it was then considered one of the best days for the Quraysh. When Allah revealed in regard to Zaid ibn Haritha what He revealed, saying, "Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you," everyone who had adopted such individuals had them returned to their own fathers. And if their fathers were not known, they were returned to their masters. Then Sahla bint Suhail, the wife of Abu Hudhaifa from the tribe of Banu 'Amir ibn Luay, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we used to consider Salim as our son, and he would enter upon me freely, while we have only one house. What do you think about this matter?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Breastfeed him five times with your milk, and he would then be prohibited for you by the bond of fosterage."

[Machine] Narrated by Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , that Abu Hudhayfah ibn Utbah ibn Rabiah ibn Abdul Shams, who was among those who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , adopted a boy named Salim just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had adopted Zaid ibn Harithah. In the pre-Islamic era, if a man adopted someone, that person would be considered as his son and would inherit from him. Allah revealed the verse in this regard, "Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you." So they returned to their fathers. Whoever did not have a known father, the person he had been adopted by remained his guardian. Aisha said, "Indeed, Sahlah bint Suhayl ibn Amr, from the Qurayshi tribe, then the Amiriyyah tribe, was under the care of my husband Hudhayfah ibn Utbah ibn Rabiah. When Allah revealed the mentioned verse, she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we used to see Salim as our son and he used to live with me and Abu Hudhayfah in the same house. Now, Allah has revealed what you know about him, so what do you think about him?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'Breastfeed him.' So she breastfed him five times, and he became her mahram (a person with whom marriage is prohibited based on breastfeeding relations), and he was considered as her child through breastfeeding."

[Machine] He is called Salim, the servant of Abu Hudhayfah, just as the Prophet ﷺ adopted Zaid and Abu Hudhayfah married Salim, considering him his son from the daughter of his sister Fatimah bint al-Walid ibn Uthbah, who was among the first emigrants and was one of the best days of the Quraysh. When Allah ﷻ revealed in that what He revealed {Invite them to their fathers}, each one of those who were adopted was called to his father, and if his father was not known, he returned to his guardians. Then Sahlah bint Suhayl, who was Abu Hudhayfah's wife and from the Banu 'Amir ibn Lu'ay, came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we used to consider Salim as our son, and he used to come to me and I am his favor, but we have only one house, so what do you think?" He said to her, "Breastfeed him and he becomes unlawful for you."

Abu Hudhaifa bin ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa bin ʿAbdi Shams who had witnessed the battle of Badr along with the Prophet ﷺ adopted Salim as his son, to whom he married his niece, Hind bint Al-Walid bin ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa; and Salim was the freed slave of an Ansar woman, just as the Prophet ﷺ had adopted Zaid as his son. It was the custom in the Pre-lslamic Period that if somebody adopted a boy, the people would call him the son of the adoptive father and he would be the latter's heir. But when Allah revealed the Divine Verses: 'Call them by (the names of) their fathers . . . your freed-slaves,' (33.5) the adopted persons were called by their fathers' names. The one whose father was not known, would be regarded as a Maula and your brother in religion. Later on Sahla bint Suhail bin ʿAmr Al-Quraishi Al-ʿAmiri-- and she was the wife of Abu- Hudhaifa bin ʿUtba--came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We used to consider Salim as our (adopted) son, and now Allah has revealed what you know (regarding adopted sons)." The sub-narrator then mentioned the rest of the narration.

It was narrated from 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet, and Umm Salamah the wife of the Prophet that Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin Abd Shams --who was one of those who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah-- adopted Salim --who was the freed slave of an Ansari woman-- as the Messenger of Allah had adopted Zaid bin Harithah. Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah married Salim to his brother's daughter Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah. Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah was one of the first Muhajir women, and at that time she was one of the best single women of the Quraish. When Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed the following concerning Zaid bin Harithah: "Call them by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you know not their fathers' (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawalikum (your freed slaves).' Each of them went back to being called after his father, and if a person's father was unknown, he was named after his former masters. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3224)
