حَزْنُ بْنُ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ

[Machine] His grandfather came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Hazn." His grandfather wanted to change his name, so he said, "I would not change a name that my father gave me." His grandfather said, "Sa'id." That grief remained in him until the present hour.

الطبراني:٣٦٠٠ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ثنا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ

أَنَّ جَدِّهِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» قَالَ حَزْنٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ اسْمَهُ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأُغَيِّرُ اسْمًا سَمَّانِي بِهِ أَبِي قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَتِلْكَ الْحُزُونَةُ فِينَا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَالِثٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِإِبَاحَةِ اسْتِعْمَالِ هَذَا الْفِعْلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ

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»
