It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) had a son whose kunyah was Abu Umayr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say (to him): "O Abu Umayr, what has the little bird (nughayr) done?" The narrator said: Then the boy passed away while Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) was away at one of his gardens. When the boy died, Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) got up, washed him, shrouded him and covered him with a cloth, and said: "No one is to tell Abu Talhah (about it) until I myself am the one who tells him." Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) came home tired, and he was fasting. Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) perfumed and adorned herself for him and brought him his supper. He asked: "How is Abu Umayr?" She said: "He has finished (and is at rest)." So he ate his supper and had with her what a man has with his wife. Then Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Abu Talhah! What do you think: if one household lends something to another household and then its owners ask for it back, will they return it or keep it?" He said: "Of course they will return it to them." She said: "Then seek reward from Allah for (the death of) Abu Umayr." The narrator said: At this he became angry and went just as he was to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him (peace and blessings be upon him) what Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) had said and done. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah bless you both in this night of yours." The narrator said: So she conceived Abdullah bin Abi Talhah, and when she gave birth to him and it was the seventh day, Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said to me: "O Anas! Take this child to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), together with this basket containing some ajwah dates, so that he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself may do his tahnik and name him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stretched out his legs and laid him in his lap, took a date, chewed it and put it into the child's mouth, and the child began to lick his lips (with relish). At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Ansar refuse everything except the love of dates."
