حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْمُرَابِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ:‏‏‏‏ لِمَ كُنِّيتَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا تَفْرَقُ مِنِّي ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَهَابُكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ أَرْعَى غَنَمَ أَهْلِي وَكَانَتْ لِي هُرَيْرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَكُنْتُ أَضَعُهَا بِاللَّيْلِ فِي شَجَرَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا كَانَ النَّهَارُ ذَهَبْتُ بِهَا مَعِي،‏‏‏‏ فَلَعِبْتُ بِهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَكَنَّوْنِي أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Rafi': I said to Abu Hurairah: 'Why were you given the Kunyah Abu Hurairah?' He said: 'Do you not fear me?' He said: Indeed, I am in awe of you.' He said: 'I used to tend the sheep of my people, and I had a small kitten; so I used to place it in a tree at night, and during the day I would take it and play with it. So they named me Abu Hurairah.'
