Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Abu Hudhaifah bin Utbah bin Rabi’ah bin Abd Shams, who was present at the Battle of Badr, adopted Salim as his son and married him to his niece Hind, daughter of Walid bin Utbah Rabi’ah. Salim was a slave of an Ansari woman, just as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had adopted Zaid as his son. It was the custom in the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) that if someone adopted a person as a son, people would call him by the name of his adoptive father, and after his death, he would also inherit from him. When Allah revealed this verse: “Call them by (the names of) their (real) fathers...” (Al-Ahzab: 5), then all of them began to be called by the names of their real fathers. And if his father was not known, then he would be called a Mawla (client) or a religious brother. Afterwards, Sahla bint Suhail bin Amr al-Qurashi al-Amiri, who was the wife of Abu Hudhaifah, came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah! We used to consider Salim as our son, but now Allah has sent down the command which you know (what should I do?)” Then the entire hadith was narrated.

Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Dubaa’ah bint Zubair (ibn Abdul Muttalib) and asked her: “Do you intend to perform Hajj?” She said (yes), but I am suffering from severe pain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Then go for Hajj and stipulate (the condition) that: O Allah, my place of coming out of Ihram is where You restrain me (due to any excuse such as illness, etc.).” And Dubaa’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) was married to Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him).

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A woman is married for four reasons: (1) for her wealth, (2) for her lineage, (3) for her beauty, (4) for her religiousness. So you should marry the religious one, otherwise your hands will be dust-covered."

Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a wealthy man passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "What do you say about this man?" They replied, "He is such a person that if he proposes (for marriage), his proposal will be accepted; if he intercedes for someone, his intercession will be accepted; and if he speaks, people listen attentively." (Sahl, may Allah be pleased with him, says) Then the Prophet remained silent. After that, another man who was poor and needy among the Muslims passed by, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "What do you say about this man?" They replied, "He is such a person that if he proposes (for marriage), his proposal will not be accepted; if he intercedes for someone, his intercession will not be accepted; and if he speaks, people do not listen attentively." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the earth were filled with such wealthy people, even then this poor man is better than all of them."
