1389 صحيح حديث سهل بن سعد قال: اتي بالمنذر ابن ابي اسيد إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، حين ولد، فوضعه على فخذه، وابو اسيد جالس؛ فلها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بشيء بين يديه، فامر ابو اسيد بابنه فاحتمل من فخذ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فاستفاق النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: اين الصبي فقال ابو اسيد: قلبناه، يا رسول الله قال: ما اسمه قال: فلان قال: ولكن اسمه المنذر فسماه يومئذ المنذر
Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Mundhir bin Abi Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) was born, so he was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) placed the child on his thigh. Abu Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting. The Prophet (peace be upon him) became occupied with something in front of him (and his attention was diverted from the child). Abu Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered regarding the child, and he was lifted from the Prophet’s thigh. Then, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) turned his attention back, he said:“Where is the child?”Abu Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) replied,“O Messenger of Allah! We have sent him home.”The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked,“What is his name?”He replied,“So-and-so.”The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,“Rather, his name is Mundhir.”Thus, on that very day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) named him Mundhir.
