Umar looked at Abu Abdul-Hameed, or Ibn Abdul-Hameed, Abu Awana was uncertain, whose name was Muhammad, and a man was saying to him, "Muhammad, may Allah do such and such to you," cursing him.At that, the Commander of the Faithful said, "Son of Zayd, come close to me. I will not have Muhammad insulted on account of you. By Allah, you shall not be called Muhammad as long as you live."So he named him Abdul-Rahman. Then he sent word to the family of Talha to have them change the names of their children. At that time they were seven, and the eldest and chief among them was Muhammad.Muhammad bin Talha said, "I implore you by Allah, Commander of the Faithful, by Allah, none named me Muhammad except Muhammad ﷺ himself."So Umar said, "Get up. I have no way to change anything that Muhammad ﷺ himself named."
حدثنا عفان حدثنا أبو عوانة حدثنا هلال بن أبي حميد
نظر عمر إلى أبي عبد الحميد أو ابن عبد الحميد شك أبو عوانة وكان اسمه محمدا ورجل يقول له يا محمد فعل الله بك وفعل وفعل قال وجعل يسبه قال فقال أمير المؤمنين عند ذلك يا ابن زيد ادن مني قال ألا أرى محمدا يسب بك لا والله لا تدعى محمدا ما دمت حيا فسماه عبد الرحمن ثم أرسل إلى بني طلحة ليغير أهلهم أسماءهم وهم يومئذ سبعة وسيدهم وأكبرهم محمد قال فقال محمد بن طلحة أنشدك الله يا أمير المؤمنين فوالله إن سماني محمدا يعني إلا محمد ﷺ فقال عمر قوموا لا سبيل لي إلى شيء سماه محمد
