حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ،، وَكَانَ، مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَبَنَّى سَالِمًا، وَأَنْكَحَهُ بِنْتَ أَخِيهِ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَهْوَ مَوْلًى لاِمْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، كَمَا تَبَنَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَيْدًا، وَكَانَ مَنْ تَبَنَّى رَجُلاً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ دَعَاهُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَوَرِثَ مِنْ مِيرَاثِهِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏ادْعُوهُمْ لآبَائِهِمْ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏وَمَوَالِيكُمْ‏}‏ فَرُدُّوا إِلَى آبَائِهِمْ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يُعْلَمْ لَهُ أَبٌ كَانَ مَوْلًى وَأَخًا فِي الدِّينِ، فَجَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْقُرَشِيِّ ثُمَّ الْعَامِرِيِّ ـ وَهْىَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ ـ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَرَى سَالِمًا وَلَدًا وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ‏.‏

Narrated `Aisha:Abu Hudhaifa bin `Utba bin Rabi`a bin `Abdi 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 `Utba bin Rabi`a; 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-Islamic 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 `Amr Al-Quraishi Al-`Amiri-- and she was the wife of Abu- Hudhaifa bin `Utba--came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's 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

Aisha bataati hain: Abu Hudhaifa bin Utba bin Rabi'a bin Abdi Shams, jinhone Nabi (SAW) ke saath jang-e-Badr mein hissa liya tha, ne Salim ko apna beta bana liya tha, aur unka nikaah apni bhatiji Hind bint Al-Walid bin Utba bin Rabi'a se karwaya; aur Salim ek Ansaari khaatoon ke azaad kiye ghulaam the, waise hi jaise Nabi (SAW) ne Zaid ko apna beta banaaya tha. Jaahiliyat ke daur mein ye rivaaj tha ke agar koi kisi ladke ko god le, to log use us god lene wale waalid ka beta kehte aur wo uski miraas ka waaris hota. Magar jab Allah ne ye Quraani Aayaten naazil kin: 'Unhein unke waalidon ke naam se bulaao... aur (agar naam maloom na ho) tumhaare azaad kiye ghulaam' (33:5), to god liye gaye logon ko unke asal waalidon ke naam se bulaaya jaane laga. Jiska waalid maloom na ho, use Maula aur deen mein bhai maana jaata. Baad mein Sahla bint Suhail bin Amr Al-Quraishi Al-Aamiri - jo Abu Hudhaifa bin Utba ki biwi thi - Nabi (SAW) ke paas aayi aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Hum Salim ko apna (god liya) beta samajhte the, aur ab Allah ne wo naazil kiya hai jo aapko pata hai (god liye beton ke baare mein).' (Ravi ne baaki riwayat bayaan ki.)
