حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَامِرٌعَنْ مَسْرُوقِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ قَالَ
لَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ لِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ: مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْأَجْدَعِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الْأَجْدَعُ شَيْطَانٌ وَلَكِنَّكَ مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ عَامِرٌ: فَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي الدِّيوَانِ مَكْتُوبًا مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: هَكَذَا سَمَّانِي عُمَرُ.

✧ I met Umar b. al-Khattab, and he said to me, 'Who are you?' I said, 'Masruq b. al-Ajda'.' Umar said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Al-Ajda' is a devil, but you are Masruq b. Abd al-Rahman."' Amir said, 'I saw him in the register written as Masruq b. Abd al-Rahman, so I said, "What is this?" He said, "Thus Umar named me."'
