حَدَّثَنَا
مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ
ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " ذَهَبْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ وُلِدَ ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَبَاءَةٍ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ ، قَالَ : هَلْ مَعَكَ تَمْرٌ , قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ , قَالَ : فَنَاوَلْتُهُ تَمَرَاتٍ ، فَأَلْقَاهُنَّ فِي فِيهِ فَلَاكَهُنَّ ، ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ فَأَوْجَرَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ ، فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُ , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : حُبُّ الْأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ ، وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ " .
Anas said; I took Abdullah bin Abi Talhah, when he was born, to the Prophet ﷺ, and the prophet ﷺ was wearing a wool;en cloak and rubbing tar on his camel. He asked: Have you some dates? I said: Yes. I then gave him some dates which he put in his mouth, chewed them, opened his mouth and them in it. The baby began to lick them. The prophet ﷺ said: ANSAR’s favourite (fruit) is dates. And he gave him the name of Abdur-Rahman.
