Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَطَرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنٌ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يَشْتَكِي، فَخَرَجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، فَقُبِضَ الصَّبِيُّ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَ ابْنِي قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ هُوَ أَسْكَنُ مَا كَانَ‏.‏ فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْعَشَاءَ فَتَعَشَّى، ثُمَّ أَصَابَ مِنْهَا، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَتْ وَارِ الصَّبِيَّ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَعْرَسْتُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَوَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا قَالَ لِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ احْفَظْهُ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَرْسَلَتْ مَعَهُ بِتَمَرَاتٍ، فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَعَهُ شَىْءٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ تَمَرَاتٌ‏.‏ فَأَخَذَهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَمَضَغَهَا، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مِنْ فِيهِ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِي الصَّبِيِّ، وَحَنَّكَهُ بِهِ، وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ‏.‏

Translation

Maṭar ibn al-Faḍl narrated to us: Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAwn informed us, from Anas ibn Sīrīn, from Anas ibn Mālik (may God be pleased with him), who said: “A son of Abū Ṭalḥah was ill. Abū Ṭalḥah went out, and the child died. When Abū Ṭalḥah returned, he asked, ‘How is my son?’ Umm Sulaym said, ‘He is more at rest than he has been.’ She brought him supper, and he ate. Then he was intimate with her. When he had finished, she said, ‘Bury the child.’ In the morning Abū Ṭalḥah went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and told him. He asked, ‘Did you spend the night as newlyweds?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘O God, bless them both.’ She gave birth to a boy. Abū Ṭalḥah said to me, ‘Keep him safe until you bring him to the Prophet ﷺ.’ He brought him to the Prophet ﷺ, and she sent dates with him. The Prophet ﷺ took the child and asked, ‘Is there anything with him?’ They said, ‘Yes, dates.’ The Prophet ﷺ took them, chewed them, then took some from his mouth and put it into the child’s mouth. He rubbed the child’s palate with it and named him ʿAbd Allāh.”
