6191. Narrated Sahl: When Al-Mundhir bin Abū Usaid was born, he was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who placed him on his thigh. While Abū Usaid was sitting there, the Prophet ﷺ was busy with something in his hands so Abū Usaid told someone to take his son from the thigh of the Prophet ﷺ. When the Prophet ﷺ finished his job (with which he was busy), he said, "Where is the boy?" Abū Usaid replied, "We have sent him home." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is his name?" Abū Usaid said, "(His name is) so-and-so." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, his name is Al-Mundhir." From that day the boy was called as Al-Mundhir.

6191 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ بِالْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ وُلِدَ، فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، وَأَبُو أُسَيْدٍ جَالِسٌ، فَلَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَأَمَرَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ بِابْنِهِ، فَاحْتُمِلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَفَاقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ الصَّبِيُّ» فَقَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ: قَلَبْنَاهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «مَا اسْمُهُ» قَالَ: فُلاَنٌ، قَالَ: «وَلَكِنْ أَسْمِهِ المُنْذِرَ» فَسَمَّاهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ المُنْذِرَ
