Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “You were shown to me in a dream. An angel brought you to me,
wrapped in a piece of silken cloth, and said to me, ‘This is your wife.’ I removed the piece of cloth

(as regards the Verse): ‘And about what is recited unto you in the Book, concerning orphan girls to

about the female orphan who is under the guardianship of a man with whom she shares her prop –
erty and he has more right over her (than anybody else) but does not like to marry her, so he pre –
vents her, from marrying somebody else, lest he should share the property with him.

Three principles were established because of Barira: (i) When Banra was manumitted she was giv –
en the option (to remain with her slave husband or not). (ii) Allah’s Apostle said “The Wala of the

a cooking pot on the fire but he was given bread and meat soup from the soup of the home. The
Prophet said, “Didn’t I see the cooking pot (on the fire)?” It was said, “That is the meat given in charity

for Barira, and it is a present for us.”

permission to enter your house.” The Prophet said, “I think he is so-and-so,” naming the foster-uncle
of Hafsa. ‘Aisha said, “If so-and-so,” naming her foster uncle, “were living, could he enter upon me?”

ful through corresponding birth (blood) relations.”

food of the child.”

Abu Hudhaifa bin ‘Utba bin Rabi’a bin Abdi Shams who had witnessed the battle of Badr along
with the Prophet 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 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 Al –
lah 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
and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We used to consider Salim as our (adopted) son, and now Allah has re –
vealed what you know (regarding adopted sons).” The sub-narrator then mentioned the rest of the
narration.
