Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 16593 — Sayyiduna Umar saw Ibn Abd al-Hamid

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ الرَّقِّيُّ، ثنا فَهِدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَبُو رَبِيعَةَ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ الْوَزَّانِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: نَظَرَ عُمَرُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ مُحَمَّدًا، وَرَجُلٌ يَقُولُ لَهُ: فَعَلَ اللهُ بِكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، وَجَعَلَ يَسُبُّهُ، فَدَعَاهُ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ زَيْدٍ لَا أَرَى مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَبُّ بِكَ، وَاللهِ لَا تُدْعَى مُحَمَّدًا أَبَدًا مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا، فَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى بَنِي طَلْحَةَ، وَهُمْ سَبْعَةٌ وَسَيِّدُهُمْ وَكَبِيرُهُمْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، لِيُغَيِّرَ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ "، فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: أُذَكِّرُكَ اللهَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَوَاللهِ لِمُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمَّانِي مُحَمَّدًا، فَقَالَ: قُومُوا لَا سَبِيلَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ سَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "
Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw Ibn Abd al-Hamid, whose name was Muhammad, while a man was saying to him: May Allah do such-and-such to you, O Muhammad! and was reviling him. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called him and said: O Ibn Zayd! I will not tolerate that the name of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) be reviled because of you. By Allah, as long as I live you will never be called Muhammad. And he renamed him Abd al-Rahman. Then he sent for Banu Talhah, who were seven brothers, and their chief and eldest was Muhammad bin Talhah, so that their names might be changed. Muhammad (bin Talhah) said: O Commander of the Believers! I remind you of Allah; by Allah, it was Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) himself who named me "Muhammad." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Get up; there is no way to change a name that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has given.
