It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Aslam (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him): If you did not have three traits, there would be no fault in you. He asked: What are they? By Allah! I have not seen you finding fault in anything. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One is that you have adopted the kunya (nickname) of Abu Yahya, while you have no children. Second, you attribute yourself to a great person like Namar bin Qasit, while your condition is that you have a stammer in your speech. And third, whatever wealth comes to you, you spend it and do not save it. Upon hearing this, he replied: As for my kunya, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me this kunya, and now I will not abandon it until I meet you, that is, until I die. The second matter, that I attribute myself to Namar bin Qasit, since I am from those people, why should I not attribute myself to them? However, the reality is that I was nursed in Aylah, and this stammer is a result of that. As for spending wealth instead of saving it, what do you think, do I spend it unlawfully?
