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.
