Home Hadith Hadith 4885
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon Dubaa bint Az-Zubair and said to her, "Do you have a desire to perform
the Hajj?" She replied, "By Allah, I feel sick." He said to her, "Intend to perform Hajj and stipulate
something by saying, 'O Allah, I will finish my Ihram at any place where You stop me (i.e. I am
unable to go further)." She was the wife of Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad.

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-lslamic 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.
