حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، أَنَّ صُهَيْبًا، كَانَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا يَحْيَى وَيَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، وَيُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ الْكَثِيرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: يَا صُهَيْبُ، مَا لَكَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا يَحْيَى وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ؟ وَتَقُولُ: إِنَّكَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، وَتُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ الْكَثِيرَ، وَذَلِكَ سَرَفٌ فِي الْمَالِ؟ فَقَالَ صُهَيْبٌ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَنَّانِي أَبَا يَحْيَى، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكَ فِي النَّسَبِ، فَأَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَوْصِلِ، وَلَكِنِّي سُبِيتُ غُلَامًا صَغِيرًا قَدْ عَقِلْتُ (٢) أَهْلِي وَقَوْمِي، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكَ فِي الطَّعَامِ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " خِيَارُكُمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ وَرَدَّ السَّلَامَ " فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُنِي عَلَى أَنْ أُطْعِمَ الطَّعَامَ (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Zaid bin Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) that once Farooq-e-Azam (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him): "If you did not have three things, there would be no fault in you." He asked, "What are they? For we have never seen you finding fault in anything." He replied, "First, you use the kunyah 'Abu Yahya' even though you have no children. Second, you attribute yourself to Namar bin Qasit while you have a stammer in your speech. And third, you do not possess wealth." Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "As for my kunyah 'Abu Yahya', the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) gave it to me, so I can never abandon it until I meet him. As for my attribution to Namar bin Qasit, that is correct because I am indeed one of them, but since I was nursed in 'Aylah', this stammer developed. And as for wealth, have you ever seen me spend it in a place that is unlawful?"
