بَابُ تَحْنِيكِ الصَّبِيِّChewing date for newborn
Hadith 1254
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: ذَهَبْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَبَاءَةٍ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ: ”مَعَكَ تَمَرَاتٌ؟“ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَنَاوَلْتُهُ تَمَرَاتٍ فَلاَكَهُنَّ، ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَا الصَّبِيِّ، وَأَوْجَرَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ، فَتَلَمَّظَ الصَّبِيُّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”حُبَّ الأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ“، وَسَمَّاهُ: عَبْدَ اللهِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that I took Abdullah bin Abi Talhah to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day he was born, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing a cloak and applying tar to one of his camels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you have dates?" I replied: Yes! I handed the dates to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he chewed them, then opened the child's mouth and put them in. The child began to move his mouth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Dates are beloved to the Ansar." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named the child Abdullah.
