Hadith 14065

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ : أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ مَاتَ لَهُ ابْنٌ ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : لَا تُخْبِرُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّذِي أُخْبِرُهُ ، فَسَجَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ، وَضَعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ طَعَامًا ، فَأَكَلَ ، ثُمَّ تَطَيَّبَتْ لَهُ فَأَصَابَ مِنْهَا ، فَعَلِقَتْ بِغُلَامٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ، إِنَّ آلَ فُلَانٍ اسْتَعَارُوا مِنْ آلِ فُلَانٍ عَارِيَّةً ، فَبَعَثُوا إِلَيْهِمْ : ابْعَثُوا إِلَيْنَا بِعَارِيَّتِنَا ، فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يَرُدُّوهَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : لَيْسَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ ، إِنَّ الْعَارِيَّةَ مُؤَدَّاةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا ، قَالَتْ : فَإِنَّ ابْنَكَ كَانَ عَارِيَّةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ قَبَضَهُ ، فَاسْتَرْجَعَ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُمَا فِي لَيْلَتِهِمَا " ، قَالَ : فَعَلِقَتْ بِغُلَامٍ فَوَلَدَتْ ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ بِهِ مَعِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَحَمَلْتُ تَمْرًا ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ عَبَاءَةٌ وَهُوَ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ مَعَكَ تَمْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، فَأَخَذَ التَّمَرَاتِ ، فَأَلْقَاهُنَّ فِي فِيهِ ، فَلَاكَهُنَّ ، ثُمَّ جَمَعَ لُعَابَهُ ، ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ ، فَأَوْجَرَهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " حُبُّ الْأَنْصَارَ التَّمْرَ ، فَحَنَّكَهُ ، وَسَمَّاهُ : عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، فَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ شَابٌّ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ .
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) was intimate with her. When she saw that he was fully satisfied, she said to him, "O Abu Talha! Tell me, if some people borrow something and benefit from it, and then the owners demand 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 and eventually gave birth to a boy. She said to me, "Anas! Take him first 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 lap of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). 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 the 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 named him Abdullah. Among the Ansar, there was no youth better than him.
