Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ، كَانَ اسْمُهَا بَرَّةَ، فَقِيلَ تُزَكِّي نَفْسَهَا. فَسَمَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَيْنَبَ.
Translation
Sadaqah ibn al-Fadl narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Jafar informed us, from Shubah, from Ata ibn Abi Maymunah, from Abu Rafi, from Abu Hurayrah, that Zaynab had been named Barrah, and it was said that she was praising herself. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, renamed her Zaynab.
