حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ‏:‏ مَا اسْمُكَ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ حَزْنٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ لاَ أُغَيِّرُ اسْمًا سَمَّانِيهِ أَبِي‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ‏:‏ فَمَا زَالَتِ الْحُزُونَةُ فِينَا بَعْدُ‏.‏

‘Ali related to us, saying: ‘Abd al-Razzaq related to us, saying: Ma‘mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab, from his father, from his grandfather, that he came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said: “What is your name?” He said: “Hazn [roughness].” He said: “You are Sahl [ease].” He replied: “I will not change a name my father gave me.” Ibn al-Musayyab said: “Roughness remained among us thereafter.”
