6193. Narrated Sa'īd bin Al-Musaiyyab that when his grandfather, Hazn(1) visited the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), “What is your name?” He said, “My name is Hazn.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “But you are Sahl.”(2) He said, “I will not change my name with which my father named me.” Ibn Al-Musaiyyab added, “So we have had roughness (in character) ever since.”
6193 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الحَمِيدِ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ، قَالَ: جَلَسْتُ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُسَيِّبِ، فَحَدَّثَنِي: أَنَّ جَدَّهُ حَزْنًا قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَا اسْمُكَ» قَالَ: اسْمِي حَزْنٌ، قَالَ: «بَلْ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ» قَالَ: مَا أَنَا بِمُغَيِّرٍ اسْمًا سَمَّانِيهِ أَبِي قَالَ ابْنُ المُسَيِّبِ: «فَمَا زَالَتْ فِينَا الحُزُونَةُ بَعْدُ»
