Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ حِينَ وُلِدَ وَهُوَ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ عَبَاءَةٌ فَقَالَ مَعَكَ تَمْرٌ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ تَمَرَاتٍ فَأَلْقَاهُنَّ فِي فِيهِ فَلَاكَهُنَّ ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ ثُمَّ أَوْجَرَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ فَجَعَلَ يَتَلَمَّظُ الصَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُبُّ الْأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad told us, Hammad told us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: I brought Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he was born, while he was tarring one of his camels, wearing a cloak. He said: Do you have any dates with you? I gave him some dates, and he put them in his mouth and chewed them, then opened the child's mouth and put the chewed dates into it. The infant began smacking his lips, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The love of the Ansar is for dates, and he named him Abdullah.
