Sabrah bin Abi Sabrah narrates from his father that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: How many children do you have? 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; among your names, the one most deserving to be given (the narrator is in doubt; perhaps the words are:) the best of your names is this (that is, Abd al-Rahman), if you give names." After that the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains al-Hajjaj bin Artah, in whom there is weakness. The rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
