ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَالِثٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِإِبَاحَةِ اسْتِعْمَالِ هَذَا الْفِعْلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ

[Machine] The Prophet PBUH said to his grandfather, "What is your name?" He replied, "Huzn" (meaning sorrow). The Prophet PBUH said, "No, you are Sahl" (meaning ease). He said, "I do not change a name my father gave me." Sa'id said, "So he remained sad among us afterwards."  

ابن حبّان:٥٨٢٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِجَدِّهِ «مَا اسْمُكَ»؟ قَالَ «حَزْنٌ» فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «بَلْ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ» قَالَ لَا أُغَيِّرُ اسْمًا سَمَّانِيهِ أَبِي قَالَ سَعِيدٌ «فَمَا زَالَتْ فِينَا حُزُونَةٌ بَعْدُ»
