Volume 8, Book 73, Number 222:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet was the best of all the people in character. I had a brother called Abu ‘Umar, who, I
think, had been newly weaned. Whenever he (that child) was brought to the Prophet the Prophet
used to say, “O Abu ‘Umar! What did Al-Nughair (nightingale) (do)?” It was a nightingale with
which he used to play. Sometimes the time of the Prayer became due while he (the Prophet) was in
our house. He would order that the carpet underneath him be swept and sprayed with water, and
then he would stand up (for the prayer) and we would line up behind him, and he would lead us in
prayer.

mentioned that to him. The Prophet said to him, “Name your son ‘Abdur-Rahman.”

Narrated Sahl:
When Al-Mundhir bin Abu Usaid was born, he was brought to the Prophet who placed him on his
thigh. While Abu Usaid was sitting there, the Prophet was busy with something in his hands so Abu
Usaid told someone to take his son from the thigh of the Prophet . When the Prophet finished his job
(with which he was busy), he said, “Where is the boy?” Abu Usaid replied, “We have sent him home.”
The Prophet said, “What is his name?” Abu Usaid said, “(His name is) so-and-so. ” The Prophet said,
“No, his name is Al-Mundhir.” So he called him Al-Mundhir from that day.

she camel (by tightening its saddle, etc.) and both of them (the Prophet and Safiya) mounted it. Then
