عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ صُهَيْبًا كَانَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا يَحْيَى وَيَقُولُ إِنَّهُ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَيُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ الْكَثِيرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا صُهَيْبُ مَا لَكَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا يَحْيَى وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ وَتَقُولُ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَتُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ الْكَثِيرَ وَذَلِكَ سَرَفٌ فِي الْمَالِ فَقَالَ صُهَيْبٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَنَّانِي أَبَا يَحْيَى وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكَ فِي النَّسَبِ فَأَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَوْصِلِ وَلَكِنِّي سُبِيتُ غُلَامًا صَغِيرًا قَدْ غَفَلْتُ أَهْلِي وَقَوْمِي وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكَ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ ”خِيَارُكُمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ وَرَدَّ السَّلَامَ“ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُنِي عَلَى أَنْ أُطْعِمَ الطَّعَامَ
It is narrated from Hamzah bin Suhaib that the kunyah of Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Yahya, and he used to attribute himself to the Arabs, and he used to feed people abundantly. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Suhaib! You have no children, so why have you adopted the kunyah Abu Yahya? And you claim that you are originally an Arab, and you feed others abundantly—this is a waste of wealth?" Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me the kunyah Abu Yahya. As for your comment about my lineage, I am by family from the clan of the chief of the people of Mosul, Namir bin Qasit. However, I was a small child when I was taken captive, and I forgot my family and my people. As for your statement about my feeding others, remember that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: 'The best among you is the one who feeds others and responds to greetings.' This is what motivates me to feed others."
