Hadith 1386
1386 صحيح حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنٌ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يَشْتَكِي، فَخَرَجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، فَقُبِضَ الصَّبِيُّ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، قَالَ: مَا فَعَل ابْني قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: هُوَ أَسْكَنُ مَا كَانَ فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْعَشَاءَ، فَتَعَشَّى، ثُمَّ أَصَابَ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ، قَالَتْ: وَارِ الصَّبِيَّ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ: أَعْرَسْتُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا قَالَ لِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: احْفَظْهُ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَرْسَلَتْ مَعَهُ بِتَمَرَاتٍ، فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَمَعَهُ شَيْءٌ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، تَمَرَاتٌ فَأَخَذَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَضَغَهَا، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مِنْ فِيهِ، فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِي الصَّبِيِّ، وَحَنَّكَهُ بِهِ، وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ
Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) had a son who was ill. Abu Talha had gone out somewhere when the child passed away. When he (tired and weary) returned, he asked, “How is the child?” His wife, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her), replied, “He is more at peace than before.” Then she placed the evening meal before him and Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) ate. After that, he had intercourse with her, and when they were finished, she said, “Bury the child.” In the morning, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the incident. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, “Did you have intercourse last night?” He replied, “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, “O Allah! Bless both of them.” Then a child was born to them, so Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me to take him carefully to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Accordingly, he was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) sent some dates along with the child. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the child and asked, “Is there anything with him?” The people said, “Yes, there are dates.” He took them, chewed them, then took them out of his mouth and placed them in the child’s mouth, and thus performed tahneek for the child and named him Abdullah.

1388 صحيح حديث أَسْمَاءَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّهَا حَمَلَتْ بِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا مُتِمٌّ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَنَزَلْتُ بِقُبَاءٍ، فَوَلَدْتُهُ بِقُبَاءٍ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي حَجْرِهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَمْرَةٍ فَمَضَغَهَا، ثُمَّ تَفَلَ فِي فِيهِ فَكَانَ أَوّلَ شَيْءٍ دَخَلَ جَوْفَهُ رِيقُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ حَنَّكَهُ بِتَمْرَةٍ، ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُ وَبَرَّكَ عَلَيْهِ؛ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ
Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) was in her womb, and during those days, when the term of pregnancy was complete, I set out for Madinah. Upon reaching, I stayed at Quba, and it was there that Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was born. Then I took him to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and placed him in his lap. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a date, chewed it, and then put it in the mouth of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him). Thus, the very first thing that entered Abdullah’s mouth was the blessed saliva of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him and asked Allah for blessings for him. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was the first child born after the migration.

He used to play with that child.
