أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ الْإِمَامُ وَتَمِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالُوا ثنا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ النَّرْسِيُّ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ ذَهَبْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ وُلِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي عَبَاءَةٍ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ مَعَكَ تَمْرٌ؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ تَمَرَاتٍ فَأَلْقَاهُنَّ فِي فِيهِ فَلَاكَهُنَّ ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَا الصَّبِيِّ فَمَجَّهُ فِي فِيهِ فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حُبُّ الْأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرُ وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us through chains > Hammad ibn Salamah > Thabit al-Bunani > Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'I took Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah al-Ansari to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) when he was born, while the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was in a cloak, tarring a camel of his. He said: Do you have dates? I said: Yes. I gave him some dates, and he put them in his mouth, chewed them, then opened the baby's mouth and put the chewed dates in it. The baby began to lick his lips. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: The Ansar love dates. And he named him Abdullah.'
