Anas said, "On the day he was born, I took 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talhato the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. I found him wearinga woollen robe while he was marking one of his camels with tar. The Prophetsaid, 'Do you have any dates with you?' 'Yes,' I replied. I gave him somedates. He chewed the dates and opened the child's mouth and put some cheweddates into the child's mouth. The child licked his lips. The Prophet, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The Ansar love dates,' andgave him the name 'Abdullah."
