English translation

3225. It was narrated from 'Aîshah that Abû Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah bin Rabî'ah bin 'Abd Shams – who was one of those who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ – adopted Sâlim and married him to his brother's daughter, Hind bint Al-Walîd bin 'Utbah bin Rabî'ah bin 'Abd Shams, and he was a freed slave of an Anshârî woman – as the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had adopted Zaid. During the Jâhiliyyah, if a man adopted someone, the people would call him his son, and he would inherit from his legacy, until Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed about that: 'Call them by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allâh. But if you know not their fathers' (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawâlikûm (your freed slaves)."[1] Then if a person's father's name was not known, he would be their freed slave and brother in faith. (Sahih)

Arabic text

3223 - أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: أَنَّ أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، تَبَنَّى سَالِمًا وَأَنْكَحَهُ ابْنَةَ أَخِيهِ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ، وَهُوَ مَوْلًى لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، كَمَا «تَبَنَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَيْدًا»، وَكَانَ مَنْ تَبَنَّى رَجُلًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، دَعَاهُ النَّاسُ ابْنَهُ، فَوَرِثَ مِنْ مِيرَاثِهِ، حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا آبَاءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَمَوَالِيكُمْ} [الأحزاب: 5] فَمَنْ لَمْ يُعْلَمْ لَهُ أَبٌ كَانَ مَوْلًى وَأَخًا فِي الدِّينِ «مُخْتَصَرٌ»
