Q
Who were some of the individuals adopted by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his companions?
A
(the wife of the Prophet) Abu Hudhaifa, one of those who fought the battle of Badr, with Allah’s
Apostle adopted Salim as his son and married his niece Hind bint Al-Wahd bin `Utba to him’ and
Salim was a freed slave of an Ansari woman. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) also adopted Zaid as his son. In the Prelslamic
period of ignorance the custom was that, if one adopted a son, the people would call him by
the name of the adopted-father whom he would inherit as well, till Allah revealed: “Call them
(adopted sons) By (the names of) their fathers.” (33.5)
