4954. Bashīr bin Maimūn narrated from his paternal uncle, Usāmah bin Akhdārī, that a man called Aṣram was among the group that came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “What is your name?” He said: “I am Aṣram (meaning cut off of plants).” He said: “No, you are Zur’ah (cultivable land).” (Ḥasan)

Arabic text

4954 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ أَخْدَرِيٍّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ أَصْرَمُ كَانَ فِي النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» قَالَ: أَنَا أَصْرَمُ، قَالَ: «بَلْ أَنْتَ زُرْعَةُ»
