حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ عُمَيْلَةَ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ ، قال : قال رسول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ ، وَلَا تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلَامَكَ يَسَارًا ، وَلَا رَبَاحًا ، وَلَا نَجِيحًا ، وَلَا أَفْلَح فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ فَلَا يَكُونُ ، فَيَقُولُ لَا إِنَّمَا هُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ ، فَلَا تَزِيدُنَّ عَلَيَّ " .
ahadeeth bin Jundub reprted: The dearest words to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), Wa la ilaha illa-Allah (There is no god but Allah), Allah-o-Akbar (God is the Greatest). There is no harm for you in which order you begin (them while remembering Allah), and he also said: Do not give these names to your servants, Yasar and Rabah and Nafi and Nafi.

وحدثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي جَرِيرٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قالا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ كُلُّهُمْ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ بِإِسْنَادِ زُهَيْرٍ ، فَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ جَرِيرٍ وَرَوْح فَكَمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ بِقِصَّتِهِ وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ شُعْبَةَ ، فَلَيْسَ فِيهِ إِلَّا ذِكْرُ تَسْمِيَةِ الْغُلَامِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْكَلَامَ الْأَرْبَعَ .
