Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 13180 — the Prophet ﷺ asked about a man

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّامِيُّ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ قَهْرَمَانُ آلِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ» ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: أَنَا، قَالَ: «اسْمُهُ؟» قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ: «مَا اسْمُ أَبِيهِ؟» قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي، قَالَ: «فَمَنْزِلُهُ؟» قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي، قَالَ: «لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ بِمَعْرِفَةٍ حَتَّى تَعْرِفَ اسْمَهُ وَاسْمَ أَبِيهِ وَقَبِيلَتَهُ إِنْ مَرِضَ عُدْتَهُ، وَإِنْ مَاتَ اتَّبَعْتَ جِنَازَتَهُ»
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about a man: "Who knows him?" A man among them said: I do. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is his name?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is his father's name?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is his home?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not called knowing (someone), until you know his name, his father's name and his tribe, so that if he falls ill you visit him, and if he dies you attend his funeral."
