[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."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَبَنَّى سَالِمًا كَمَا تَبَنَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ وَكَانَ مَنْ تَبَنَّى رَجُلًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ دَعَاهُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَوَرِثَ مِنْ مِيرَاثَهِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ فِي ذَلِكَ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا آبَاءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَمَوَالِيكُمْ} فَرُدُّوا إِلَى آبَائِهِمْ فَمَنْ لَمْ يُعْلَمْ لَهُ أَبٌ كَانَ مَوْلًى قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَإِنَّ سَهْلَةَ بِنْتَ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْقُرَشِيِّ ثُمَّ الْعَامِرِيِّ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَرَى سَالِمًا وَلَدًا وَكَانَ يَأْوِي مَعِي وَمَعَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ وَيَرَانِي وَأَنَا فَضْلٌ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ فِيهِمْ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ فَمَا تَرَى فِي شَأْنِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَرْضِعِيهِ» فَأَرْضَعَتُهُ خَمْسَ رَضَعَاتٍ فَيُحَرَّمُ بِهِنَّ وَكَانَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ وَلَدِهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ  

[Machine] She said, "O Messenger of Allah, Salim, the servant of Hudhayfah, enters upon me while he has a beard." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Breastfeed him." I said, "How can I breastfeed him while he has a beard?" He said, "Breastfeed him." So I breastfed him and he would enter upon her.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ سَالِمًا مَوْلَى حُذَيْفَةَ يَدْخُلُ عَلِيَّ وَهُوَ ذُو لِحْيَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَرْضِعِيهِ» فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ وَهُوَ ذُو لِحْيَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ «أَرْضِعِيهِ» فَأَرْضَعْتُهُ فَكَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا
