2. Chapter of Alif (Male)
٢۔ بَابُ الْأَلِفِ
[Machine] I heard Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr saying, "The name of my father is Aamir bin Usamah."
سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ يَقُولُ «اسْمُ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ عَامِرُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ»
أُسَامَةُ بْنُ أَخْدَرِيٍّ
[Machine] It is said that a man called Asram was in the group of people who came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He brought with him a young boy who was an Abyssinian slave that he had bought in that land. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have bought this boy and I wanted you to name him and pray for him with blessings." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is your name?" He replied, "Asram." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, you are Zura'ah (plantation)." He then asked, "What do you want him for?" He replied, "I want him as a shepherd." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then he will be a protector." And the Prophet ﷺ took his hand.
يُقَالُ لَهُ أَصْرَمُ كَانَ فِي النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ لَهُ حَبَشِيٍّ اشْتَرَاهُ بِتِلْكَ الْبِلَادِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اشْتَرَيْتُ هَذَا فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تُسَمِّيَهُ وَتَدْعُوَ لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ قَالَ «مَا اسْمُكَ أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ قَالَ أَصْرَمُ قَالَ «بَلِ أَنْتَ زُرْعَةُ» قَالَ «فَمَا تُرِيدُهُ؟» قَالَ أُرِيدُهُ رَاعِيًا قَالَ «فَهُوَ عَاصِمٌ» وَقَبَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَفَّهُ
