Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِجَدِّهِ جَدِّ سَعِيدٍ مَا اسْمُكَ قَالَ حَزْنٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلْ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ فَقَالَ لَا أُغَيِّرُ اسْمًا سَمَّانِيهِ أَبِي قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ فَمَا زَالَتْ فِينَا حُزُونَةٌ بَعْدُ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq told us: Ma'mar told us, from al-Zuhri, from Ibn al-Musayyab, from his father, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his grandfather -- the grandfather of Sa'id -- "What is your name?" He said: "Hazn (hardship)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, you are Sahl (ease)." He said: "I will not change a name my father named me with." Ibn al-Musayyab said: "And roughness has not ceased to be among us since."
