Narrated Aisha: Abu Hudhaifa Bin Utba Bin Rabia Bin Abd 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 AlWalid Bin Utba Bin Rabia; 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 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 Amr AlQuraishi AlAmiri- and she was the wife of Abu Hudhaifa Bin Utba-came to the Prophet ﷺ and said; O Allah Messenger 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.
