حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا اسْمُكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَزْنٌ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏السَّهْلُ يُوطَأُ وَيُمْتَهَنُ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُصِيبُنَا بَعْدَهُ حُزُونَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ وَغَيَّرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْمَ الْعَاصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَزِيزٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَتَلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَشَيْطَانٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْحَكَمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغُرَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحُباب، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَشِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَمَّاهُ:‏‏‏‏ هِشَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَمَّى حَرْبًا:‏‏‏‏ سَلْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَمَّى الْمُضْطَجِعَ:‏‏‏‏ الْمُنْبَعِثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَرْضًا تُسَمَّى عَفِرَةَ سَمَّاهَا:‏‏‏‏ خَضِرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَشَعْبَ الضَّلَالَةِ سَمَّاهُ:‏‏‏‏ شَعْبَ الْهُدَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبَنُو الزِّنْيَةِ سَمَّاهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ بَنِي الرِّشْدَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَمَّى بَنِي مُغْوِيَةَ:‏‏‏‏ بَنِي رِشْدَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ تَرَكْتُ أَسَانِيدَهَا لِلِاخْتِصَارِ.

SAHIH HADITH:

Saeed bin Musayyab told that his father said on the authority of his grandfather (Hazn): The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked: What is your name? He replied: Hazn (rugged). He said: You are Sahl (smooth). He said: No, smooth is trodden upon and disgraced. Saeed said: I then thought that ruggedness would remain among us after it. Abu Dawud said: The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم changed the names al-As, Aziz, Atalah, Shaytan, al-Hakam, Ghurab, Hubab, and Shihab and called him Hisham. He changed the name Harb (war) and called him Silm (peace). He changed the name al-Munba'ith (one who lies) and called him al-Mudtaji' (one who stands up). He changed the name of a land Afrah (barren) and called it Khadrah (green). He changed the name Shi'b ad-Dalalah (the mountain path of a stray), the name of a mountain path and called it Shi'b al-Huda (mountain path of guidance). He changed the name Banu az-Zinyah (children of fornication) and called them Banu ar-Rushdah (children of those who are on the right path), and changed the name Banu Mughwiyah (children of a woman who allures and goes astray), and called them Banu Rushdah (children of a woman who is on the right path). Abu Dawud said: I omitted the chains of these for the sake of brevity.
