English translation

[3601] 27 - (...) It was narrated from 'Āishah that Sālim, the freed slave of Abū Hudhaifah, was with Abû Hudhaifah and his family in their house. She - meaning the daughter of Suhail (ans wife od Abû Hudhaifah)- came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Sâlim has attained what men attain (puberty) and he understands what they understand. He enters upon us and I think that Abû Hudhaifah feels some (discomfort) in his heart because of that." The Prophet ﷺ said to her: "Breastfeed him and he will be unlawful for you, and what Abû Hudhaifah feels in his heart will disappear." She came back to him and said: "I breastfed him, and what Abû Hudhaifah felt in his heart has disappeared."

27 - (1453) وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، قَالَ: ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ سَالِمًا، مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأَهْلِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِمْ، فَأَتَتْ - تَعْنِي ابْنَةَ سُهَيْلٍ - النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ سَالِمًا قَدْ بَلَغَ مَا يَبْلُغُ الرِّجَالُ. وَعَقَلَ مَا عَقَلُوا. وَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا. وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ أَنَّ فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا. فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَرْضِعِيهِ تَحْرُمِي عَلَيْهِ، وَيَذْهَبِ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ» فَرَجَعَتْ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُهُ. فَذَهَبَ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ

[1] Sālim bin 'Ubaid bin Rabī'ah was adopted by Abū Hudhaifah, as was the custom of the Arabs, and he was brought up under the care of Abū Hudhaifah and his wife as if he was their son. When the verse: "Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers." [Al-Ahzāb 33:5] was revealed, the idea of adoption was abolished and it became hard on them to prevent him from entering upon them because he was like a son to them. So Sahlah asked him about that.
