When the verse: "Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers." [Al-A ,zâb 33:51 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. was with Abü Hudhaifah and his family in their house. She – meaning the daughter of Suhail (ans wife od Abü Hudhaifah)- came to the Prophet and said: "Sâlim has attained what men attain (puberty) and he understands what they understand. He enters upon us and I think that Abü Hudhaifah feels some (discomfort) in his heart because of that." The Prophet said to her: "Breastfeed him and he will be unlawful for you, and what Abü Hudhaifah feels in his heart will disappear." She came back to him and said: "I breastfed him, and what Abü Hudhaifah felt in his heart has disappeared."
