Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the wife of Abu Hudhaifah bin Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him), Sahla bint Suhail bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with her), came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah, comes to us while I am in my private attire. We used to consider him as our son, because Abu Hudhaifah had adopted him as a son in the same way that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had adopted Zaid. Then Allah the Exalted revealed the verse: __QUR_33_5__ (Call them by [the names of] their fathers; that is more just in the sight of Allah) (Al-Ahzab: 5)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her: "Give your milk to Salim." So she gave him her milk five times, and thus he became her foster son. For this reason, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to instruct her sisters and nieces to give their milk five times to any man whom they wished to show themselves to or wanted him to come to them, even if he was an adult, and then that man would come to her. The rest of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), including Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), did not consider it correct for a man to come to them due to such (adult) suckling, unless he had been breastfed in infancy. They used to say to Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "By Allah! We think that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted this concession only for Salim, not for others."
