حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: وُلِدَ لِي غُلاَمٌ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَسَمَّاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَحَنَّكَهُ بِتَمْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ، وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَيَّ وَكَانَ أَكْبَرَ وَلَدِ أَبِي مُوسَى.

Muhammad ibn al-‘Ala related to us, saying: Abu Usama related to us, from Burayd ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Burda, from his father, from Abu Musa, who said: A boy was born to me, and I brought him to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He named him Ibrahim, performed tahnik for him with a date, prayed for blessing for him, and handed him back to me. He was Abu Musa’s eldest child.
