Talq ibn Habib said, "I was the most vehement person in denying
intercession. I questioned Jabir and he said, 'Tulayq, I heard the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "They will come out of the
Fire after entering it," and we recite (the same Book) you recite.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The name which hates the most is that a
man be called the King of Kings."
Hanzala ibn Hidhaym said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to like to call a man by the name that he liked best
and by his favourite kunya."
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ قَالَ: أُتِيَ بِالْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ وُلِدَ، فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، وَأَبُو أُسَيْدٍ جَالِسٌ، فَلَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَيْءٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَأَمَرَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ بِابْنِهِ فَاحْتُمِلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَاسْتَفَاقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ الصَّبِيُّ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ: قَلَبْنَاهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: مَا اسْمُهُ؟ قَالَ: فُلاَنٌ، قَالَ: لاَ، لَكِنِ اسْمُهُ الْمُنْذِرُ، فَسَمَّاهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُنْذِرَ.
Sahl said, "Al-Mundhir ibn Abi Usayd was brought to the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when he was born and the Prophet
placed him on his thigh while Abu Usayd was seated near him. The Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was busy with something in front
of him, so Abu Usayd told someone to take his son from the Prophet's leg.
When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, became aware
of it, he asked, 'Where is the child?' Abu Usayd replied, 'We sent him
home.' The Prophet asked, 'What is his name?' He replied, 'Such-and-such.'
The Prophet said, 'No, rather his name is al-Mundhir.' So we called him
al-Mundhir from that day."
