اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِجَدِّهِ جَدِّ سَعِيدٍ مَا اسْمُكَ قَالَ حَزْنٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلْ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ فَقَالَ لَا أُغَيِّرُ اسْمًا سَمَّانِيهِ أَبِي قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ فَمَا زَالَتْ فِينَا حُزُونَةٌ بَعْدُ
Ibn Musayyib narrates from his father that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his grandfather: "What is your name?" He replied: "Huzn (hardship)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather you are Sahl (ease)." He said: "But the name my father has given me, I will not change it." Ibn Musayyib said: "So, harshness and roughness always remained in our family."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... The meaning of ḥazn is harsh and rough-tempered, whereas the meaning of sahl is gentle and easy.
