Al-Ahzab 33:5

Juz 21 · Page 418

ٱدْعُوهُمْ لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِن لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَمَوَٰلِيكُمْ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَآ أَخْطَأْتُم بِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ٥

Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you. And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but [only for] what your hearts intended. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

Context

Calling adopted sons by their fathers' names

5

As narrated from Ibn Umar in Bukhari, the Companions used to call Zayd b. Haritha, the freedman and adopted son of the Prophet, “Zayd b. Muhammad.” This continued until the verse was revealed: “Call them by the names of their fathers; that is more just in the sight of Allah.” The verse abolished the lineage effects of adoption and commanded that adopted sons be known by their true fathers' names.
