حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ عَنْ دُلْجَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ الْحَكَمَ الْغِفَارِيَّ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ أَوْ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَتَذْكُرُ حِينَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ النَّقِيرِ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ أَوْ أَحَدِهِمَا وَعَنْ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَارِمًا يَقُولُ تَدْرُونَ لِمَ سُمِّيَ دُلْجَةَ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ أَدْلَجُوا بِهِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَوَضَعَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فِي الدُّلْجَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ فَسُمِّيَ دُلْجَةَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Abi 'Adi narrated to us, from Sulayman, from Abu Tamimah, from Duljah ibn Qays, that al-Hakam al-Ghifari said to a man — or a man said to him — 'Do you remember when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the hollowed trunk and the pitch-lined vessel, or one of the two, and the gourd and the green jar?' He said: 'Yes, and I bear witness to that.' Abu Abd al-Rahman said: One of our companions narrated to me, saying: I heard 'Arim say: 'Do you know why he was named Duljah?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'They traveled by night to Makkah, and his mother gave birth to him during that night journey at that time, so he was named Duljah.'
