Hadith 13026

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : مَاتَ ابْنٌ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ مِنْ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ ، فَقَالَتْ لِأَهْلِهَا : لَا تُحَدِّثُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ بِابْنِهِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أُحَدِّثُهُ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَ فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ عَشَاءً ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ تَصَنَّعَتْ لَهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَتْ تَصَنَّعُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَوَقَعَ بِهَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ شَبِعَ ، وَأَصَابَ مِنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ، أَرَأَيْتَ أَنَّ قَوْمًا أَعَارُوا عَارِيَتَهُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ ، وَطَلَبُوا عَارِيَتَهُمْ ، أَلَهُمْ أَنْ يَمْنَعُوهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَتْ : فَاحْتَسِبْ ابْنَكَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا كَانَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمَا فِي غَابِرِ لَيْلَتِكُمَا " قَالَ : فَحَمَلَتْ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَهِيَ مَعَهُ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ لَا يَطْرُقُهَا طُرُوقًا ، فَدَنَوْا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَضَرَبَهَا الْمَخَاضُ ، وَاحْتَبَسَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ، وَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : يَا رَبِّ ، إِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مَعَ رَسُولِكَ إِذَا خَرَجَ ، وَأَدْخُلَ مَعَهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ ، وَقَدْ احْتَبَسْتُ بِمَا تَرَى ، قَالَ : تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ، مَا أَجِدُ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَجِدُ ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا ، قَالَ : وَضَرَبَهَا الْمَخَاضُ حِينَ قَدِمُوا ، فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا ، فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي : يَا أَنَسُ ، لَا يُرْضِعَنَّهُ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى تَغْدُوَ بِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ احْتَمَلْتُهُ وَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَصَادَفْتُهُ وَمَعَهُ مِيْسَمٌ ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي ، قَالَ : " لَعَلَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَلَدَتْ ؟ " قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَوَضَعَ الْمِيسَمَ ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ بِهِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ ، قَالَ : وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَجْوَةٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَلَاكَهَا فِي فِيهِ حَتَّى ذَابَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَذَفَهَا فِي فِي الصَّبِيِّ ، فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " انْظُرُوا إِلَى حُبِّ الْأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ " قَال : فَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ ، وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Abu Talha's (may Allah be pleased with him) son was ill, and he passed away. His wife, Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her), instructed the household that none of them should inform Abu Talha of his son's death. When Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, dinner was placed before him; he ate and drank water. Then Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) adorned herself well. Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) had relations with her. When she saw that he was fully satisfied, she said to Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Talha! Tell me, if some people borrow something and benefit from it, and then the owner demands its return, can they refuse?" He replied, "No." She said, "Then be patient over your son." In the morning, he went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the whole incident. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May Allah bless you both in this night." As a result, she became pregnant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey, and Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) was with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a practice that after returning from a journey, he would not enter Madinah at night. When they reached near Madinah, Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) was overcome by severe labor pains, so Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed with her, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went ahead. Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Allah! You know that it is most beloved to me that when Your Messenger leaves Madinah, I leave with him, and when he enters, I enter with him, and now You see how I have stayed behind." Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "O Abu Talha! Now I do not feel the pain anymore." So they set out, and upon reaching Madinah, her pain increased again, and eventually a boy was born to her. She said to me, "Anas! Let no woman nurse him; rather, first take him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So in the morning, I took the child to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was applying tar to his camels. As soon as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me, he said, "Perhaps a child has been born to Umm Sulaim?" I replied, "Yes!" and placed the child in the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) lap. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for some 'ajwa dates, took a date, chewed it in his mouth to soften it, gathered his saliva, and put it into the child's mouth, which he began to suck. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Dates are a beloved thing to the Ansar," and he named him Abdullah.
