بَابُ مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الْأَسْمَاءِWhat Names are Disliked
Hadith 1780
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِلَقْحَةٍ تُحْلَبُ : " مَنْ يَحْلُبُ هَذِهِ ؟ " فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا اسْمُكَ ؟ " فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ : مُرَّةُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اجْلِسْ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَنْ يَحْلُبُ هَذِهِ ؟ " فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا اسْمُكَ ؟ " فَقَالَ : حَرْبٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اجْلِسْ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَنْ يَحْلُبُ هَذِهِ ؟ " فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا اسْمُكَ ؟ " فَقَالَ : يَعِيشُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " احْلُبْ "
It is narrated from Yahya ibn Sa'id that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Who will milk this she-camel?" A man stood up. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked: "What is your name?" He replied: "Murrah." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Sit down." (The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not like his name; Murrah also means bitter.) Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Who will milk this she-camel?" Another man stood up. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked: "What is your name?" He replied: "Harb." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Sit down." (Harb means war.) Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Who will milk this she-camel?" Another man stood up. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked: "What is your name?" He replied: "Ya'ish." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Go and milk [the she-camel]." (The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, liked the name Ya'ish because it is from 'aish [meaning to live]. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to take good omens.)
