Abd al-Samad bin Habib al-Awdhi transmits this statement of his father: We took part in a campaign together with Sayyiduna Sinan bin Salamah bin al-Muhabbiq (may Allah be pleased with him), and he told us: I was born on the day of the Battle of Hunayn. When my father was given the good news about me, and the people said: "A son has been born to you," he said: "That I shoot a sinan (that is, an arrow) on behalf of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be dearer to me than that of which you have given me the good news." Then he named me Sinan.
Ahmad recorded it. No one besides his son has narrated from the narrator named Habib.
