حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ (٣) : أَتَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ سَالِمًا مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنَّا فُضُلٌ وَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَرَاهُ وَلَدًا وَكَانَ أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ تَبَنَّاهُ كَمَا تَبَنَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَيْدًا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللهِ} [الأحزاب: ٥] " فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تُرْضِعَ سَالِمًا "، فَأَرْضَعَتْهُ خَمْسَ رَضَعَاتٍ وَكَانَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ وَلَدِهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، فَبِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَأْمُرُ أَخَوَاتِهَا وَبَنَاتِ إخوتها (٤) أَنْ يُرْضِعْنَ مَنْ أَحَبَّتْ عَائِشَةُ أَنْ يَرَاهَا وَيَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَ كَبِيرًا خَمْسَ رَضَعَاتٍ، ثُمَّ، ، يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا، وَأَبَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَسَائِرُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُدْخِلْنَ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِتِلْكَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى يَرْضَعَ فِي الْمَهْدِ، وَقُلْنَ لِعَائِشَةَ: وَاللهِ مَا نَدْرِي لَعَلَّهَا كَانَتْ رُخْصَةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِسَالِمٍ مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Abu Hudhaifa had made Salim—who was a freed slave of an Ansari woman—his adopted son, just as the Prophet (ﷺ) had made Zaid bin Haritha his adopted son. In the time of ignorance, people used to consider an adopted son as a real son and would even grant him the right of inheritance, until Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Call them by (the names of) their fathers; that is more just in the sight of Allah." In this context, one day Sahla came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We used to consider Salim our son; he lived with me and Abu Hudhaifa and would see matters of my privacy. Now Allah has revealed the command regarding adopted sons, which you also know." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Give him five sips of your milk." After that, Salim became like her foster son. Because of this, whenever Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) deemed it appropriate to allow someone (even if he was of older age) to enter her house, she would have him suckled by her sister or niece, and then he would come and go in her house. But Umm Salama and the other noble wives did not allow anyone to enter their homes through this fosterage, and they used to say to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that, "We do not know; perhaps this concession was only for Salim."
