Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 4747 — on the Most Beloved Names to Allah
عَنْ سَبْرَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا وَلَدُكَ قَالَ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ وَعَبْدُ الْعُزَّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ أَسْمَائِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَسْمَائِكُمْ إِنْ سَمَّيْتُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْحَارِثُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What are the names of your children?" He said: "So-and-so, so-and-so, and Abd al-Uzza." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is Abd al-Rahman (not Abd al-Uzza). If you wish to name (your children), then the best names are Abdullah, Abd al-Rahman, and Harith."
