Chapter on Names That Are Prohibited and Those That Are Disliked
Hadith 4777
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى بِمَلِكِ الْأَمْلَاكِ قَالَ أَبِي سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيَّ عَنْ أَخْنَعِ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَوْضَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The worst name in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection, for which there will be shame, is that a man calls himself "Malikul-Amlak" (the king of kings).
Hadith 4778
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَغْيَظُ رَجُلٍ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَخْبَثُهُ وَأَغْيَظُهُ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يُسَمَّى مَلِكَ الْأَمْلَاكِ لَا مَلِكَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the most detested and wicked person in the sight of Allah Almighty will be the one who calls himself "Malik al-Amlak" (King of Kings), while there is no king except Allah Almighty.
Hadith 4779
عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنْ عِشْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ زَجَرْتُ أَنْ يُسَمَّى بَرَكَةُ وَيَسَارٌ وَنَافِعٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ لَا أَدْرِي ذَكَرَ رَافِعًا أَمْ لَا إِنَّهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ هَاهُنَا بَرَكَةُ فَيُقَالُ لَا وَيُقَالُ هَاهُنَا يَسَارٌ فَيُقَالُ لَا قَالَ فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَزْجُرْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَرَادَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ يَزْجُرَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I live, God willing, I will prohibit these names: Barakah, Yasar, and Nafi’. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not know whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the name Rafi’ or not. The reason for prohibiting these names is that when someone asks, “Is Barakah (Blessing) here?” the answer is “No.” Similarly, when someone asks, “Is Yasar (Ease) here?” the answer is “No.” However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away without prohibiting these names. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to prohibit them, but later abandoned this intention.
Hadith 4780
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ عُمَيْلَةَ الْفَزَارِيِّ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَرْبَعٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ وَلَا تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلَامَكَ يَسَارًا وَلَا رَبَاحًا وَلَا نَجِيحًا وَلَا أَفْلَحَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ أَثَمَّ هُوَ أَوْ أَثَمَّ فُلَانٌ قَالُوا لَا إِنَّمَا هُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ لَا تَزِيدُنَّ عَلَيَّ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These four words are the most beloved to Allah Almighty: La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah. So whichever word you wish to begin with, there will be no harm in it. Do not name your child Aflah, Najeeh, Yasar, or Rabah, because when you ask, “Is so-and-so here?” and he is not present, people will say: “No.” Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: These are the four words; do not narrate more than this from me.
Hadith 4781
عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُسَمِّيَ رَقِيقَكَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسْمَاءٍ أَفْلَحَ وَيَسَارًا وَنَافِعًا وَرَبَاحًا
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade naming your child with any of these four names: Aflah, Yasar, Nafi‘, and Rabah.
