Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A boy was born to the brother of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they named him "al-Walid". The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have named him after the names of your Pharaohs. Soon there will be a man in this Ummah called 'al-Walid', and he will be worse for this Ummah than Pharaoh was for his people."
Ahmad recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
