Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 18957 — his father, Sayyiduna Abu Sabrah

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ النَّخَعِيِّ، عَنْ سَبْرَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ: أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَا وَلَدُكَ؟» ، فَقَالَ: عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى، وَسَبْرَةُ، وَالْحَارِثُ، قَالَ: «لَا تُسَمِّ عَبْدَ الْعُزَّى، وَسَمِّ عَبْدَ اللهِ، فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْأَسْمَاءِ عَبْدُ اللهِ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ، وَالْحَارِثُ، وَهَمَّامٌ» وَدَعَا لِوَلَدِهِ فَمَا زَالُوا فِي شَرَفٍ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah bin Abi Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that his father, Sayyiduna Abu Sabrah al-Ju'fi (may Allah be pleased with him), came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who are your children?" He said: Abd al-Uzza, Sabrah and al-Harith. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not name him Abd al-Uzza; name him Abdullah, for the best names are Abdullah, Ubaydullah, al-Harith and Hammam." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for his children, and they have remained in honour to this day.
