(69) باب فِي تَغْيِيرِ الأَسْمَاءِ
Anas said; I took 'Abd Allah b. Abi Talhah, when he was born, to the Prophet (May peace be upon him), and the prophet (May peace be upon him) was wearing a wool;en cloak and rubbing tar on his camel. He asked:
Have you some dates? I said : Yes. I then gave him some dates which he put in his mouth, chewed them, opened his mouth and them in it. The baby began to lick them. The prophet (May peace be upon him) said: ANSAR's favourite (fruit) is dates. And he gave him the name of 'Abd al-Rahman.
