When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was born, his mother sent word to his grandfather to give him the glad news of his grandson, so he brought him to the Kaaba and entered it. He thanked Allah, and he chose the name Muhammad for him, and this name was not common for the Arabs as it was mentioned that only about twenty men were called by that name. They circumcised him on the seventh day as the Arabs usually did.
لما ولد الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم، أرسلت أمه الي جده تبشره بحفيده، فجاء مستبشرا ودخل به الكعبة ، ودعا الله وشكر له ، اختار له اسم محمد ،و هذا الاسم لم يكن مشهورا في العرب، و يذكر أن الذي تسمى به قرابة عشرين رجلا و هو عدد قليل قبل ، وختنه يوم سابعه كما كان العرب يفعلون.
