Sahih Muslim 2146b (Book 38, Hadith 32) #12710
Blessing of the First Muslim Baby

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) blessing a newborn baby and introducing him to Islam.

Asma' reported that she had become pregnant at Mecca with Abdullah b. Zubair (in her womb) and she (further) said: I set out (for migration to Medina) as I was in the advanced stage of pregnancy. I came to Medina and got down at the place known as Quba' and gave birth to a child there. Then I came to Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him). He placed him (the child) in his lap and then commanded for the dates to be brought. He chewed them and then put the saliva in his mouth. The first thing which went into his stomach was the saliva of Allah's Messenger ﷺ. He then rubbed his palate with dates and then invoked blessings for him and blessed him. He was the first child who was born in Islam (after Migration).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ، أَنَّهَا حَمَلَتْ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَتْ فَخَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا مُتِمٌّ، فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَزَلْتُ بِقُبَاءٍ فَوَلَدْتُهُ بِقُبَاءٍ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَجْرِهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَمْرَةٍ فَمَضَغَهَا ثُمَّ تَفَلَ فِي فِيهِ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ شَىْءٍ دَخَلَ جَوْفَهُ رِيقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ حَنَّكَهُ بِالتَّمْرَةِ ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُ وَبَرَّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about the blessed moment when Asma' bint Abi Bakr gave birth to her son Abdullah ibn Zubair in Medina. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was present at this momentous occasion and he blessed the newborn baby by placing him on his lap and putting dates in his mouth. This was an important event as it marked the first child born into Islam after migration from Mecca to Medina. The Prophet's blessings were a sign of Allah's grace upon this new Muslim family and it serves as an example for us today that we should always be welcoming towards new Muslims joining our community. We should also strive to make sure that all children are introduced to Islamic teachings from a young age so they can grow up with strong faith in Allah SWT.
