English translation

4951. It was narrated that Anas said: "I brought 'Abdullāh bin Abī Ṭalḥah to the Prophet ﷺ when he was born, and the Prophet ﷺ was wearing a woollen cloak, daubing a camel of his with pitch. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do you have any dates with you?' I said: 'Yes.' I gave him some dates, and he put them in his mouth and chewed them, then he opened (the baby's) mouth, and put some of the dates in it, and the child started to smack his lips. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Look at how much the Anṣār love dates.' And he named him 'Abdullāh.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4951 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: ذَهَبْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حِينَ وُلِدَ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَبَاءَةٍ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ، قَالَ: «هَلْ مَعَكَ تَمْرٌ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَنَاوَلْتُهُ تَمَرَاتٍ» فَأَلْقَاهُنَّ فِي فِيهِ فَلَاكَهُنَّ ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ فَأَوْجَرَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «حُبُّ الْأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ» وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ
