حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ لاَ يَتَطَيَّرُ مِنْ شَىْءٍ وَكَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ عَامِلاً سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِهِ فَإِذَا أَعْجَبَهُ اسْمُهُ فَرِحَ بِهِ وَرُئِيَ بِشْرُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ اسْمَهُ رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَإِذَا دَخَلَ قَرْيَةً سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِهَا فَإِنْ أَعْجَبَهُ اسْمُهَا فَرِحَ بِهَا وَرُئِيَ بِشْرُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ اسْمَهَا رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ .

Narrator: Buraydah ibn al-Hasib

English translation
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: The Prophet (ﷺ) did not take omens from anything, but when he sent out an agent he asked about his name. If it pleased him, he was glad about it, and his cheerfulness on that account was visible in his face. If he disliked his name, his displeasure on that account was visible in his face. When he entered a village, he asked about its name, and if it pleased him, he was glad about it, and his cheerfulness on that account was visible in his face. But if he disliked its name, his displeasure on that account was visible in his face
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনু বুরাইদাহ (রহঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কোনো কিছুকেই কুলক্ষণ মনে করতেন না। তিনি কোথাও কোনো কর্মচারীকে প্রেরণ করলে তার নাম জানতে চাইতেন। উক্ত নাম তাঁর পছন্দ হলে তিনি খুশি হতেন এবং তার মুখমন্ডল উজ্জ্বল দেখাতো। আর উক্ত নাম অপছন্দ হলে তাঁর চেহারা অসন্তোষের ছাপ ভেসে উঠতো। তিনি কোনো জনপদে প্রবেশ করলে তার নাম জিজ্ঞেস করতেন। সেই নাম তাঁর পছন্দ হলে তিনি খুশী হতেন এবং তাঁর চেহারা উজ্জ্বল দেখা যেতো। পক্ষান্তরে সেই নাম অপছন্দ হলে তাঁর চেহারায় অসন্তোষের ছাপ ভেসে উঠতো। সহীহ।
