Majma al-Zawaid 12891 — Changing names, the names that are prohibited
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ :
كَانَ اسْمِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ عَبْدُ كُلَالٍ ، فَسَمَّانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ نَاصِحٌ أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
