bukhari:6191 – Saʿīd b. Abū Maryam > Abū Ghassān > Abū Ḥāzim > Sahl

When Al-Mundhir bin Abu Usaid was born, he was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who placed him on his thigh. While Abu Usaid was sitting there, the Prophet ﷺ was busy with something in his hands so Abu Usaid told someone to take his son from the thigh of the Prophet ﷺ . When the Prophet ﷺ finished his job (with which he was busy), he said, "Where is the boy?" Abu Usaid replied, "We have sent him home." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is his name?" Abu Usaid said, "(His name is) so-and-so. " The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, his name is Al-Mundhir." So he called him Al-Mundhir from that day.

أُتِيَ بِالْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ وُلِدَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَأَبُو أُسَيْدٍ جَالِسٌ فَلَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَىْءٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ بِابْنِهِ فَاحْتُمِلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاسْتَفَاقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ الصَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ قَلَبْنَاهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَا اسْمُهُ قَالَ فُلاَنٌ قَالَ وَلَكِنْ أَسْمِهِ الْمُنْذِرَ فَسَمَّاهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُنْذِرَ
