Hadith 304
- " إذا حدثتكم حديثا فلا تزيدن علي وقال: أربع من أطيب الكلام وهن من القرآن لا يضرك بأيهن بدأت: سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر، ثم قال: لا تسمين غلامك أفلح، ولا نجيحا، ولا رباحا، ولا يسارا (فإنك تقول: أثم هو؟ فلا يكون، فيقول: لا) ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When I tell you something, do not ask me further questions about it." Then he said: "There are four words which are extremely good (and excellent) in speech, and their mention is in the Noble Qur'an. Whichever of these words is mentioned first, it will not harm you. (Those words are:) «سبحان الله ، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله والله اكبر»." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not name your child Aflah, Najeeh, Rabah, or Yasar, because if you ask, 'Is he here?' and he is not there, then (the one answering) will say: 'No.'"
