Narrated Aisha: It was narrated from Aisha that Abu Hudhaifah Bin Utbah Bin Rabiah 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 daughter; Hind bint AlWalid Bin Utbah Bin Rabiah Bin Abd Shams; and he was a freed slave of an Ansari woman -as the Messenger of Allah had adopted Zaid. During the Aljahiliyah; 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 father name was not known; he would be their freed slave and brother in faith.
