Jami at-Tirmidhi 3207 (Book 47, Hadith 259) #28856
Adoption in Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith explains how Allah revealed verses to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) regarding the adoption of Zaid bin Muhammad and how he was referred to as his son until Allah revealed that he should be called by his father's name.

Narrated 'Aishah may Allah be pleased with her: "If the Messenger of Allah was to have concealed anything that was revealed to him, then he would have concealed these Ayat: 'When you said to him on whom Allah has bestowed grace (meaning by Islam); and you have done a favor (meaning that he was a slave and you freed him) "Keep your wife to yourself, and have Taqwa of Allah". But you did hide in yourself that which Allah will make manifest, you did fear the people whereas Allah had better right that you should fear Him' up to His saying: 'And Allah's command must be fulfilled (33:37)'. They said: 'He married his wife's son, so Allah revealed: 'Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Last of the Prophets (33:40)'. The Messenger of Allah had taken (adopted) him as a son when he was small, and he remained being called 'Zaid bin Muhammad' until he grew up to adulthood, then Allah revealed: 'Call them by their fathers, then your brothers in religion and your Mawali (33:5). (Say) So-and-so, the Mawla of so-and-so, and; So-and-so, the brother of so-and-so'.That is more just with Allah' meaning that doing that is more just to Allah".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the adoption of Zaid bin Muhammad, who was adopted by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The story begins when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) freed him from slavery and said to him “Keep your wife to yourself, and have Taqwa of Allah”. After this, Allah revealed a verse which stated that Prophet Muhammad was not the father of any man but rather a messenger of God and the last prophet. As a result, it became necessary for Zaid bin Muhammad to be referred to by his father’s name instead. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek guidance from God before making any decisions in life through Istikhaarah prayer. It also teaches us about having Taqwa or fear of God which is an important part of our faith as Muslims. Furthermore, it shows us that we must always obey what God has commanded us even if it goes against what people think or say because ultimately His command must be fulfilled.
