[6322] 107 - (2144) It was narrated that Anas said: "A son of Abû Talhah from Umm Sulaim died, and she said to her
family: 'Do not tell Abū Ṭalḥah about his son until I tell him.' He came and she brought him his dinner, and he ate and drank. Then she adorned herself for him more beautifully than she had ever done before that, and he had intercourse with her. When she saw that he was satisfied, she said: 'O Abū Ṭalḥah, do you think that if some people lent something to a household and they asked for it back, do they have the right to refuse?' He said: 'No.' She said: 'Seek reward for the loss of your son.' He got angry and said: 'You left me until I indulged myself and then you told me about my son?'
"He went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him what had happened. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'May Allāh bless you both in the night you spent.' She became pregnant. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was on a journey, and she was with him. Whenever the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ returned from a journey, he did not enter (the city) at night. They drew close to Al-Madīnah and she felt the pangs of childbirth. Abū Ṭalḥah stayed with her and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went on ahead. Abū Ṭalḥah said: 'You know, O Lord, that that I love to go out with Your Messenger when he goes out, and come in with him when he comes in, but I have been detained as You see.'
Umm Sulaim said: 'O Abū Ṭalḥah, I do not feel what I was feeling; let's go.' So they set off, then she felt the labor pains again when they arrived, and she gave birth to a boy. My mother said to me: 'O Anas, no one should breastfeed him until you take him in the morning to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' The next morning, I carried him and brought him to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and I came to him when he was holding a branding-iron. When he saw me he said: 'Perhaps Umm Sulaim has given birth?' He said: 'Yes.' He put down the branding-iron, and I brought the baby, and put him in his lap. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called for some Ajwah dates of Al-Madīnah and softened them in his mouth, then placed some in the mouth of the child, and the child started to smack his lips. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'See how the Anṣār love dates.' And he wiped his face and named him 'Abdullāh.'

107 - (2144) حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: مَاتَ ابْنٌ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ، مِنْ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، فَقَالَتْ لِأَهْلِهَا: لَا تُحَدِّثُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ بِابْنِهِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أُحَدِّثُهُ قَالَ: فَجَاءَ فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ عَشَاءً، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، فَقَالَ: ثُمَّ تَصَنَّعَتْ لَهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ تَصَنَّعُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَوَقَعَ بِهَا، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ شَبِعَ وَأَصَابَ مِنْهَا، قَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ قَوْمًا أَعَارُوا عَارِيَتَهُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ، فَطَلَبُوا عَارِيَتَهُمْ، أَلَهُمْ أَنْ يَمْنَعُوهُمْ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَتْ: فَاحْتَسِبِ ابْنَكَ، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ، وَقَالَ: تَرَكْتِنِي حَتَّى تَلَطَّخْتُ، ثُمَّ أَخْبَرْتِنِي بِابْنِي فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا كَانَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكُمَا فِي غَابِرِ لَيْلَتِكُمَا» قَالَ: فَحَمَلَتْ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَهِيَ مَعَهُ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ، لَا يَطْرُقُهَا طُرُوقًا، فَدَنَوْا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَضَرَبَهَا الْمَخَاضُ فَاحْتُبِسَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، وَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: إِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ، يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهُ يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مَعَ رَسُولِكَ إِذَا خَرَجَ، وَأَدْخُلَ مَعَهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ، وَقَدِ احْتَبَسْتُ بِمَا تَرَى، قَالَ: تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ مَا أَجِدُ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَجِدُ، انْطَلِقْ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا، قَالَ وَضَرَبَهَا الْمَخَاضُ حِينَ قَدِمَا، فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي: يَا أَنَسُ لَا يُرْضِعُهُ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى تَغْدُوَ بِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ احْتَمَلْتُهُ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ فَصَادَفْتُهُ وَمَعَهُ مِيسَمٌ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: «لَعَلَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَلَدَتْ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَوَضَعَ الْمِيسَمَ، قَالَ: وَجِئْتُ بِهِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ، وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَجْوَةٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَلَاكَهَا فِي فِيهِ حَتَّى ذَابَتْ، ثُمَّ قَذَفَهَا فِي فِيِّ الصَّبِيِّ، فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُهَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «انْظُرُوا إِلَى حُبِّ الْأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ» قَالَ: فَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ
