English Translation
Asram narrated: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I bought a slave, so supplicate to Allah for him with blessings and name him." He said: "What is your name?" He said: "Asram." He said: "Rather, you are Zur'ah (plant)." He said: "What do you want him for?" He said: "For farming." He said: "Then he is 'Asim (protector)."
