حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَتْ لِي يَا أَنَسُ انْظُرْ هَذَا الْغُلاَمَ فَلاَ يُصِيبَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَغْدُوَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحَنِّكُهُ. فَغَدَوْتُ بِهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي حَائِطٍ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ حُرَيْثِيَّةٌ، وَهْوَ يَسِمُ الظَّهْرَ الَّذِي قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْفَتْحِ.
Anas Narrated from:
When Um Sulaim gave birth to a child. she said to me, "O Anas! Watch this boy carefully and do not give him anything to eat or drink until you have taken him to the Prophet (ﷺ) tomorrow morning for the Tahnik." So the next morning I took the child to the Prophet (ﷺ) who was sitting in a garden and was wearing a Huraithiya Khamisa and was branding the she-camel on which he had come during the Conquest of Mecca.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5824
This hadith about Tahnik and the Huraithiya Khamisa includes two clear details. Um Sulaim gave birth and told Anas not to give the child anything to eat or drink until he took the baby to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم for Tahnik the next morning. Anas went and found the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in a garden, wearing a Huraithiya Khamisa. He was also branding the she-camel on which he had come during the Conquest of Mecca. The main point from the text is the care taken to bring the newborn to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم for Tahnik, along with a recorded detail about what the Prophet was wearing at that time.
What we learn from this hadith
- Um Sulaim wanted the newborn taken to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم for Tahnik.
- Anas carefully followed her instruction regarding the baby.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was wearing a Huraithiya Khamisa when Anas arrived.
- The narration preserves both family care and a clothing detail.
