Hadith 1503
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِ جُوَيْرِيَةَ وَكَانَ اسْمُهَا بُرَّةَ ، فَحَوَّلَ اسْمَهَا ، فَخَرَجَ وَهِيَ فِي مُصَلَّاهَا ، وَرَجَعَ وَهِيَ فِي مُصَلَّاهَا ، فَقَالَ : " لَمْ تَزَالِي فِي مُصَلَّاكِ هَذَا ؟ " قَالَتْ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " قَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ " .
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out from Juwayriyyah (wife of the Prophet). Earlier her name was Barrah, and he changed it. When he went out she was in her place of worship, and when he returned she was in her place of worship. He asked: Have you been in your place of worship continuously? She said: Yes. He then said: Since leaving you I have said three times four phrases which, if weighed against all that you have said (during this period), would prove to be heavier: "glory be to Allah", and I begin with praise of Him to the number of His creatures, in accordance with His good pleasure, to the weight of His throne and to the ink (extent) of His words.

Brief Explanation
1؎ : In the same way, the name of Zaynab bint Abi Salamah radi Allahu anha was also Barrah; the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam changed it to Zaynab, because it is not known who is Barrah (righteous) and who is Fajirah (wicked) in the sight of Allah. It is not appropriate for a person to praise and purify themselves.

1503. Commentary:
➊ It is not appropriate to give such names which imply self-praise. Likewise, names that carry a bad meaning. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to change such meanings.
➋ It is preferable to adopt a comprehensive and concise dhikr (remembrance). And the above-mentioned tasbih is extremely concise and comprehensive.

Benefit:
In this hadith, one of the prescribed (masnun) remembrances (adhkar) after the Fajr prayer is mentioned, and along with it, its virtue is also described. Even if the deed is small, it should be in accordance with the Sunnah; this is of greater importance than a deed that is exhausting but contrary to the Sunnah.
