Hadith 29
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ بَهْلُولٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِيهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ لِي صَدِيقًا بِمَكَّةَ، وَكَانَ اسْمِي عَبْدُ عَمْرٍو، وَتَسَمَّيْتُ حِينَ أَسْلَمْتُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَكَانَ يَلْقَانِي بِمَكَّةَ فَيَقُولُ: أَرَغِبْتَ عَنِ اسْمٍ سَمَّاكَهُ أَبَوَاكَ، فَأَقُولُ: نَعَمْ، فَيَقُولُ: فَإِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنِي وَبَينَكَ شَيْئًا أَدْعُوكَ بِهِ، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَا تُجِبْنِي بِاسْمِكَ الْأُوَّلَ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا أَدْعُوكَ بِمَا لَا أَعْرِفُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ فَاجْعَلْ يَا أَبَا عَلِيٍّ مَا شِئْتَ، قَالَ: فَأَنْتَ عَبْدُ الْإِلَهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَومُ بَدْرٍ مَرَرْتُ بِهِ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ مَعَهُ ابْنُهُ عَلِيٌّ آخِذٌ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ [ص: 73] : وَمَعِي أَدْرَاعٌ قَدِ اسْتَلَبْتُهَا فَأَنَا أَحْمِلُهَا، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ عَمْرٍو، فَلَمْ أُجِبْهُ، قَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ الْإِلَهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: هَلْ لَكَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَدْرَاعِ الَّتِي مَعَكَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ نَعَمْ هَؤُلَاءِ خَيْرٌ، إِذَنْ فَقَالَ: فَطَرَحَتُ الْأَدْرَاعَ مِنْ يَدِي فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ وَبِيَدِ ابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَومِ أَمَا لَكُمْ حَاجَةٌ فِي اللَّبَنِ؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ أَمْشِي بِهِمَا.
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and others narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Umayyah bin Khalaf was my friend in Makkah, and in the days of ignorance my name was Abd Amr. When I became Muslim, I changed my name to Abdur Rahman. When he met me in Makkah, he would say: “Do you not like the name your parents gave you?” I would say: “Yes.” Then he would say: “Well, I do not know this ‘Abdur Rahman’. Just tell me a special name by which I can call you. I don’t know what’s with you that when I call you Abd Amr, you don’t even answer me, and I have no trouble calling you by a name I recognize.” He said: I said, “O Abu Ali! Call me whatever you wish.” He said: “I will call you ‘Abd al-Ilah’.” (That is, he named you ‘Abd al-Ilah’.) On the day of the Battle of Badr, I passed by him while he was standing holding his son Ali’s hand. And I had some armors which I had taken from the disbelievers. When he saw me, he said: “O Abd Amr!” I did not answer. He said: “O Abd al-Ilah!” I said: “Yes.” He said: “I am better for you than these armors.” I said: “Yes.” So I threw the armors from my hand and took hold of his and his son’s hand.
