It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that I took Abdullah bin Abi Talhah to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day he was born, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing a cloak and applying tar to one of his camels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you have dates?" I replied: Yes! I handed the dates to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he chewed them, then opened the child's mouth and put them in. The child began to move his mouth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Dates are beloved to the Ansar." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named the child Abdullah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Qurrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when my son Iyas was born, I invited a group of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and served them food. Then they made supplication (dua). I said: Indeed, you have made supplication; may Allah bless you in return for the supplication you have made. And now I will supplicate, and you say Ameen. They agreed. Then I made numerous supplications for him regarding his religion, intellect, and so on. He says: I saw the effect of the supplication made that day in him, meaning Allah made Iyas just as I had asked.

It is narrated from Kathir bin Ubaid, may Allah have mercy on him, that he said: When a child was born in the family of Sayyidah Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, she would not ask whether it was a boy or a girl. She would ask: Is the child healthy and sound? When she was told that yes, the child is healthy, she would say: «الحمد للہ رب العالمین» .

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Five things are from the natural disposition: trimming the mustache, cutting the nails, shaving the pubic hair, plucking the armpit hair, and using the tooth-stick (miswak)."

It is narrated from Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to cut his nails after fifteen days, and shave the hair below the navel after one month.
