3321. Zainab bint Abî Salamah said: "I heard 'Aîshah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ say: 'Sahlah bint Suhail came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I see (displeasure) in the face of Abû Hudhaifah when Sâlim enters upon me.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Breast-feed him.' She said: 'He has a beard.' He said: 'Breast-feed him, and that will take away (the displeasure) in the face of Abû Hudhaifah.' She said: 'By Allâh, I never saw that on the face of Abû Hudhaifah after that.'" (Sahîh)

Commentary
Abû Hudhaifah ﷺ had adopted Sâlim (son). He dwelt in the house like sons and used to frequent the house. When the command that an adopted son does not become a son in the real sense of the word, or the rulings of son are applied to him descended, observing Hijâb around him became obligatory. That is why the afore-mentioned situation materialized.
