It is reported about Abu Hafs Amr bin Ali that he used to say: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had little flesh on his face, and he was named "Atiq" because of the beauty of his face; otherwise his name was Abdullah bin Uthman.
It has also been reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named him "Atiq", that is, one freed from Hell.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain is jayyid (good) and hasan.
