Hadith of al-Musayyib ibn Hazn (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 23673 — Hadith of al-Musayyib ibn Hazn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِجَدِّهِ ، جَدِّ سَعِيدٍ : " مَا اسْمُكَ ؟ " قَالَ : حَزْنٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَلْ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ " ، فَقَالَ : لَا أُغَيِّرُ اسْمًا سَمَّانِيهِ أَبِي ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ : فَمَا زَالَتْ فِينَا حُزُونَةٌ بَعْدُ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his grandfather, "What is your name?" He replied, "Huzn (Sorrow)." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No, your name is Sahl (Ease)." He said, "I do not wish to change the name that my father has given me." Saeed says that after that, there was always sadness in our family.
