Naming a Child with Blessings

SUMMARY: The Prophet (May peace be upon him) was rubbing tar on his camel when Anas brought 'Abd Allah b. Abi Talhah to him. He asked for dates and put them in the baby's mouth, saying that the Ansar's favorite fruit is dates, and then gave him the name of 'Abd al-Rahman.

Anas said; I took 'Abd Allah b. Abi Talhah, when he was born, to the Prophet (May peace be upon him), and the prophet (May peace be upon him) was wearing a wool;en cloak and rubbing tar on his camel. He asked: Have you some dates? I said : Yes. I then gave him some dates which he put in his mouth, chewed them, opened his mouth and them in it. The baby began to lick them. The prophet (May peace be upon him) said: ANSAR’s favourite (fruit) is dates. And he gave him the name of 'Abd al-Rahman.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ ذَهَبْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ حِينَ وُلِدَ وَالنَّبِيُّ فِي عَبَاءَةٍ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ هَلْ مَعَكَ تَمْرٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ - قَالَ - فَنَاوَلْتُهُ تَمَرَاتٍ فَأَلْقَاهُنَّ فِي فِيهِ فَلاَكَهُنَّ ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ فَأَوْجَرَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ حِبُّ الأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about a special moment between Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and a newborn baby named ‘Abd Allah b. Abi Talhah. When Anas brought the baby to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, he was rubbing tar on his camel while wearing a woolen cloak. The Prophet ﷺ asked for some dates which were given to him by Anas and he put them in his mouth, chewed them, opened his mouth and placed it in the baby’s mouth as well so that he could lick it too. The Prophet ﷺ then said that Ansar’s favorite fruit is dates before giving him the name of ‘Abd al-Rahman as an act of blessing for this newborn child. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to bless our children with good names as well as how we should take care of others even if they are not related to us or part of our family circle; this includes animals too!
