Hadith Number: 6265
فحدثنا ابو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، حدثنا احمد بن عبد الجبار، حدثنا يونس بن بكير، عن ابن إسحاق قال: حدثني بعض اصحابي، عن ابي هريرة قال: كان اسمي في الجاهلية عبد شمس بن صخر، فسميت في الإسلام عبد الرحمن، وإنما كنوني بابي هريرة لاني كنت ارعى غنما لاهلي، فوجدت اولاد هر وحشية فجعلتها في كمي، فلما رحت عنهم وسمعت اصوات الهر من حجري، فقالوا: ما هذا يا عبد شمس؟ فقلت: اولاد هر وجدتها، قالوا: فانت ابو هريرة، فلزمتني بعد (1). قال ابن إسحاق: وكان ابو هريرة وسيطا في دوس حيث يحب ان يكون منهم.
Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah al-Dawsi (may Allah be pleased with him); there is much disagreement about his name and the name of his father. It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "In the Days of Ignorance my name was Abd Shams bin Sakhr; then, upon accepting Islam, I was named Abd al-Rahman. I came to be called by the kunyah Abu Hurayrah because I used to graze my family's goats, and I found the kittens of a wild cat, so I put them in my sleeve. When I returned and the sounds of the kittens were heard from my lap, the people asked: 'O Abd Shams, what is this?' I said: 'These are kittens that I found.' They said: 'Then you are Abu Hurayrah.' So after that this kunyah stuck to me." Ibn Ishaq says: Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) held a highly honoured position in the tribe of Daws.
