Mukhtasar Muslim

`Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that` Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) had a son who was ill. He (Abu Talha) was out when the boy passed away. When he returned, he asked, "How is my child?" (His wife) Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) replied, "Now he is more at ease than before" (this was an allusion to his death, and not a lie). Then Umm Sulaym brought him the evening meal, and he ate. After that, he had relations with Umm Sulaym. When they were finished, Umm Sulaym said, "Go and bury the child." In the morning, Abu Talha went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of everything that had happened. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did you have relations with your wife last night?" Abu Talha replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, "O Allah, bless them both." Later, Umm Sulaym gave birth to a boy, so Abu Talha said to me, "Take this child to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)," and Umm Sulaym 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 replied, "Dates." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the dates, chewed them, then took them out of his mouth and put them into the child's mouth, and performed tahneek for him, and named him Abdullah.
