[5613] 23 - (...) It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "A son of Abū Ṭalḥah fell sick; Abū Ṭalḥah went out and the boy died. When Abū Ṭalḥah returned he said: 'What happened to my son?' Umm Sulaim said: 'He is quieter than he was.' She brought him his dinner and he ate, then he had intercourse with her, and when it was over she said: 'Bury the boy.' The next morning Abū Ṭalḥah went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him what had happened. He said: 'Did you spend the night together?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'O Allāh, bless them.' She gave birth to a boy and Abū Ṭalḥah said to me: 'Take him to the Prophet ﷺ,' [So he took him to the Prophet ﷺ.] And she sent some dates with him. The Prophet ﷺ took him and said: 'Is there anything with him?' They said: 'Yes, some dates.' The Prophet ﷺ took them and chewed them, then he took it from his mouth and put it in the child's mouth and rubbed it on his palate (Tahnîk) and named him 'Abdullâh."

23 - (2144) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنٌ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يَشْتَكِي، فَخَرَجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، فَقُبِضَ الصَّبِيُّ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ ابْنِي؟ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: هُوَ أَسْكَنُ مِمَّا كَانَ، فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْعَشَاءَ فَتَعَشَّى، ثُمَّ أَصَابَ مِنْهَا، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَتْ: وَارُوا الصَّبِيَّ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَعْرَسْتُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمَا» فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا، فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: احْمِلْهُ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَبَعَثَتْ مَعَهُ بِتَمَرَاتٍ، فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَمَعَهُ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، تَمَرَاتٌ، فَأَخَذَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَضَغَهَا، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ فِيهِ، فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِي الصَّبِيِّ ثُمَّ حَنَّكَهُ، وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ
