Hadiths 7.25 and 7.26

7.25:
Narrated `Aisha:
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 Allah revealed the Divine Verses: 'Call them by (the
names of) their fathers . . . your freed−slaves,' (3
3.5) 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 revealed what you know (regarding adopted
sons)." The sub−narrator then mentioned the rest of the
narration.

7.26:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle 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.
