English translation
[5612] 22 - (2144) It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "I took 'Abdullāh bin Abū Ṭalḥah Al-Anṣārī to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he was born, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was wearing a cloak and daubing pitch on a camel of his. He said: 'Do you have any dates with you?' I said: 'Yes.' I gave him some dates and he put them in his mouth and softened them, then he opened the baby's mouth and put some in his mouth, and the baby started to smack his lips. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'How the Anṣār love dates,' and he named him 'Abdullāh.'"
