ذِكْرُ كُنْيَةِ هَذَا الصَّبِيِّ الْمُتَوَفَّى لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ، وَأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say, "What happened to Abu Umair?" He (Abu Talhah) replied, "He fell ill, and Abu Talhah was absent in one of his gardens. The child died, so Umm Sulaim washed, shrouded, and perfumed him, and she put a cloth on him and said, 'No one should inform Abu Talhah until I inform him myself.' Then Abu Talhah came in angrily as he was fasting, so Umm Sulaim prepared herself for him and made herself presentable. She brought him his dinner, and he asked, 'What did Abu Umair do?' She replied, 'He had dinner and afterwards he was gone.' He said, 'Then I will also have dinner.' He ate from it what a man would eat from his family, and then she said, 'O Abu Talhah, have you seen a people who would lend their clothes to another family naked? So their owners may ask them to return it, or they would keep it?' He replied, 'No, they would return it to them.' She said, 'Then be patient and have hope, O Abu Umair.' He became angry and went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of the words of Umm Sulaim. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'May Allah bless your night.' Then she gave birth to Abdullah bin Abu Talhah on the seventh day. Umm Sulaim said to me, 'O Anas, take this baby and this towel, and there is some ajwa dates in it, to the Prophet ﷺ so that he will massage and name him.' So I went to the Prophet ﷺ with the baby, and he extended his legs and laid him down in his bed, and he took a date, chewed it, and placed it in the mouth of the baby and rubbed it on his palate. Then he said, 'The Ansar would only love dates.'"
