Musnad Ahmad 17607 — Hadith of Khaythamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman
حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادٌ أَوْ عَبَّادٌ ، عَنْ الْحَجَّاجِ ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سَبْرَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا وَلَدُكَ ؟ " قَالَ فُلَانُ ، وَفُلَانُ ، وَعَبْدُ الْعُزَّى . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، إِنَّ مِن أَحَقَّ أَسْمَائِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَسْمَائِكُمْ إِنْ سَمَّيْتُمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَالْحَارِثَ " .
It is narrated from Khaythamah that his father Abdur Rahman, along with his grandfather, presented themselves in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked his grandfather, "What are your sons' names?" He replied, "So-and-so, so-and-so, and Abdul-Uzza." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "He is Abdur Rahman." Then he said, "The best names are Abdullah, Abdur Rahman, and Harith."
