حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْمُرَابِطِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ لِمَ كُنِّيتَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَمَا تَفْرَقُ مِنِّي قُلْتُ بَلَى وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَهَابُكَ . قَالَ كُنْتُ أَرْعَى غَنَمَ أَهْلِي فَكَانَتْ لِي هُرَيْرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ فَكُنْتُ أَضَعُهَا بِاللَّيْلِ فِي شَجَرَةٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ النَّهَارُ ذَهَبْتُ بِهَا مَعِي فَلَعِبْتُ بِهَا فَكَنَّوْنِي أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ‏. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ .

English translation
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Rafi': "I said to Abu Hurairah: 'Why were you given the Kunyah Abu Hurairah?' He said: 'Do you not fear me?'" He said: "Indeed, I am in awe of you.' He said: 'I used to tend the sheep of my people, and I had a small kitten; so I used to place it in a tree at night, and during the day I would take it with me and play with it. So they named me Abu Hurairah
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু রাফি' (রহঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে, তিনি বলেন, আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযিঃ)-কে আমি প্রশ্ন করলাম, আবূ হুরাইরাহ (বিড়ালের বাপ) আপনার ডাকনাম হল কেন? তিনি বললেন, তুমি আমাকে কি ভয় পাও? আমি বললাম, হ্যাঁ আল্লাহর শপথ, অবশ্যই আপনাকে আমি ভয় করি। তিনি বললেন, আমি আমার পরিবারের মেষপাল চড়াতাম এবং আমার একটি ছোট বিড়াল ছিল। রাতের বেলা আমি এটিকে একটি গাছে বসিয়ে রাখতাম। আর দিন হলে আমি এটাকে আমার সঙ্গে নিয়ে যেতাম এবং এর সাথে খেলা করতাম। তাই লোকেরা আমাকে আবূ হুরাইরাহ ডাকনাম দেয়। সনদ হাসান। আবূ ঈসা বলেন, এ হাদীসটি হাসান গারীব।
