Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4704 — When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ قَالَ : نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْوُحَاظِيُّ قَالَ : نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ : I " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِ الرَّجُلِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ حَسَنًا عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ سَيِّئًا رُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، وَإِذَا سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِ الْقَرْيَةِ فَكَذَلِكَ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ إِلَّا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ I " ، رَوَاهُ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ : عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Shikhkhir (may Allah be pleased with him) that "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about a person's name, if it was good, its pleasant effect would be recognised on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face, and if it was bad, its displeasing effect would be seen on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face; and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about the name of a town, it was likewise."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Sa'id bin Bashir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him), from Mutarrif (may Allah have mercy on him), and Yahya bin Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it from him."
Also, Hisham al-Dastuwa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him), from Ibn Buraydah (may Allah have mercy on him), from his father (Sayyiduna Buraydah, may Allah be pleased with him).
