وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ:

إِنَّ أَمَةً لِعُمَرَ ؓ كَانَ لَهَا اسْمٌ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ الْعَجَمِ، فَسَمَّاهَا عُمَرُ ؓ جَمِيلَةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا: أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: خُذِيهَا عَلَى رَغْمِ أَنْفِكِ
