٢٥٠٢٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: (أخبرنا) (١) ابن عون عن أنس بن سيرين عن أنس أن أم سليم ولدت غلاما فقال لي أبو طلحة: احمله حتى تأتي (به) (٢) النبي ﷺ (٣)، فأتى (به) (٤) النبي ﷺ (٥) وبعث معه بتمرات، فأخذه النبي ﷺ (٦) فقال: "معه شيء؟ " قالوا: نعم، تمرات، فأخذها النبي ⦗١٢٣⦘ ﷺ (٧) فمضغها ثم (أخذه) (٨) من فيه، فجعله في في الصبي، ثم (حنكه) (٩) به وسماه عبد اللَّه (١٠).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth to a boy, and Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Take this child to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So this child was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and some dates were also sent along with him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) took the child and said: "Is there anything with him?" The people replied: Yes, dates. At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the dates and chewed them. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) took (the chewed date) from his blessed mouth and put it into the child's mouth. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) rubbed his palate, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) named him Abdullah.
٢٥٠٢٦ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا أبو أسامة عن (بريد) (١) بن عبد اللَّه عن أبي بردة عن أبي موسى قال: ولد لي غلام، (فأتيت) (٢) النبي ﷺ فسماه إبراهيم، وحنكه بتمرة (٣).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: A boy was born to me. I came (with him) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) named him Ibrahim and rubbed his palate with a date.
٢٥٠٢٧ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا خالد بن مخلد عن ابن مسهر عن هشام عن أبيه عن أسماء بنت أبي بكر أنها أتت النبي ﷺ بابن الزبير حين وضعته، وطلبوا تمرة (حتى وجدوها) (١)، فحنكوه بها (٢)، (فكان) (٣) أول شيء دخل بطنَه ريقُ رسول اللَّه ﷺ (٤) (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyidah Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) that she came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), when Sayyidah Asma had given birth to him. The Companions looked for a date until one was found, and then they rubbed his palate with it. So the first thing that entered the belly of Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) was the blessed saliva of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
٢٥٠٢٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن نمير قال: حدثنا هشام عن أبيه عن عائشة أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ (كان يؤتى) (١) بالصبيان فيبرك عليهم ويحنكهم (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that children used to be brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate for blessing for them and rub their palates.
