I brought Abdullah bin Abu Talha to the Prophet ﷺ when he was born. The Prophet ﷺ was wrapped in a cloak, smearing tar on a camel of his.He asked, "Do you have any dates with you?"I replied, "Yes."He said, "Hand them to me." So I gave him some dates. He put them in his mouth and chewed them, then opened the child's mouth and placed the chewed dates into it. The infant began smacking his lips, and the Prophet ﷺ remarked, "The Ansar love dates." Then he named him Abdullah.
حدثنا موسى بن إسمعيل حدثنا حماد بن سلمة عن ثابت
ذهبت بعبد الله بن أبي طلحة إلى النبي ﷺ حين ولد والنبي ﷺ في عباءة يهنأ بعيرا له قال هل معك تمر قلت نعم قال فناولته تمرات فألقاهن في فيه فلاكهن ثم فغر فاه فأوجرهن إياه فجعل الصبي يتلمظ فقال النبي ﷺ حب الأنصار التمر وسماه عبد الله
