حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَالَوَيْهِ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَرْبِيُّ ثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
وَالْأَحْنَفُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ مُخَضْرَمٌ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَوَجَّهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «وَاسْمُ الْأَحْنَفِ الضَّحَّاكُ وَيُقَالُ صَخْرُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وُلِدَ وَهُوَ أَحْنَفُ» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا حْنَفٌ فِي رِجْلِهِ مَا كَانَ فِي الْحَيِّ غُلَامٌ مِثْلَهُ وَكَانَ أَحْلَمَ الْعَرَبِ

✧ And al-Aḥnaf ibn Qays ibn Ḥuṣayn ibn al-Nazzāl ibn ʿUbaydah was a mukhaḍram; he met the Prophet ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for him and supplicated for him. He said: “The name of al-Aḥnaf is al-Ḍaḥḥāk, and it is said Ṣakhr ibn Qays ibn Muʿāwiyah ibn Ḥuṣayn. He was born with a curvature in his legs.” His mother said: “By Allah, were it not for a curvature in his leg, there would be no boy in the tribe like him.” He was the most forbearing of the Arabs.
