" عَنْ خَلِيفَةَ بْنِ عَبْدَةَ الْمَنْقَرِىِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَدَىِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ سَوَاة بْنِ جَشْمٍ بنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: كَيْفَ سَمَّاكَ أَبُوكَ في الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مُحَمَّدًا؟ فَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنِّى سَأَلْتُ أَبِى عَمَّا سَألْتَنِى عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: خَرَجْتُ رَابِعَ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ بَنِى تَمِيمٍ أَنَا أَحَدُهُمْ، وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُجَاشِعٍ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ حُرَقُوصِ بْنِ مَازِنٍ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جندُب بْنِ العَنْبَرِ نُرِيدُ زَيدَ بْنَ جَفْنَةَ الْغَسَّانِىَّ بِالشَّامِ، فَلَمَّا وَرَدْنَا الشَّامَ نَزَلْنَا عَلَى غَدِيرٍ عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَاتٌ وَقُرْبهُ قَائِمٌ لِدِيرانِىٍّ ()، فَقُلْنَا: لَوِ اغْتَسَلْنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَاءِ وَادَّهَنَّا ولَبِسْنا ثيَابَنَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا صَاحِبَنَا فأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْنَا الدِّيرانِىُّ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَلُغَةُ قَوْمٍ مَا هِىَ بِلُغَةِ أَهْلِ هَذَا اَلْبَلَدِ، فَقُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ مُضَرَ، قَالَ: مِنْ أَىِّ الْمَضَائيرِ؟ قُلْنَا: مِنْ خَنْدَفٍ ( )، فَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيُبْعَثُ فِيكُمْ وَشِيكًا نَبِىٌّ، فَسَارِعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَخُذُوا بِحظِّكُمْ مِنْهُ تَرْشُدُوا، فَإِنَّهُ خَاتمُ النَّبِيِّينَ، فَقُلنَا: مَا اسْمُهُ؟ قَالَ: مُحَمَّدٌ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا مِنْ عِنْد ابْنِ جُفْنَةَ وُلِدَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا لِذَلِكَ".

"From Khalifah ibn 'Abdah al-Minqari, who said: I asked Muhammad ibn 'Adi ibn Rabi'ah ibn Sawa ibn Jashm ibn Sa'd: "How did your father name you Muhammad in the Jahiliyyah?" He said: "As for me, I asked my father what you have asked me, and he said: I went out as the fourth of four men from Banu Tamim, I being one of them, with Sufyan ibn Mujashi', Yazid ibn 'Amr ibn Rabi'ah ibn Hurqus ibn Mazin, and Usamah ibn Malik ibn Jundab ibn al-'Anbar, seeking Zayd ibn Jafnah al-Ghassani in Syria. When we arrived in Syria, we stopped at a pond with trees on it, and beside it was a monk standing for a monastery (). We said: 'If we bathe in this water, anoint ourselves, put on our clothes, and then go to our companion.' The monk looked down at us and said: 'This is surely the language of a people who are not the language of the people of this land.' We said: 'Yes, we are a people from Mudar.' He said: 'From which of the Mudar tribes?' We said: 'From Khindif ()'. He said: 'A prophet will soon be sent among you, so hasten to him and take your share of him, and you will be guided, for he is the Seal of the Prophets.' We said: 'What is his name?' He said: 'Muhammad.' When we departed from Ibn Jafnah, a boy was born to each one of us, and each named his son Muhammad because of that.""
