حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " غَيَّرَ اسْمَ عَاصِيَةَ ، وَقَالَ : أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَإِنَّمَا أَسْنَدَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ مُرْسَلًا ، وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُطِيعٍ ، وَعَائِشَةَ ، وَالْحَكَمِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، وَمُسْلِمٍ ، وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ أَخْدَرِيٍّ ، وَشُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، وَخَيْثَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ .

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: When a calamity befalls a person or he is afflicted with some distress, it is difficult at that moment to maintain composure and exercise patience. Gradually, the grief dissipates on its own and the distress lessens until it eventually disappears. Therefore, it becomes easier to be patient later on. For this reason, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said that true patience, which is the cause of reward and virtue, is that which is exercised at the first blow and at the initial shock. Patience after wailing and lamentation is fruitless.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The Arabs used to name (their children) ‘Aas’ and ‘Aasiyah’.
By these names, they intended (the meaning of) one who rejects oppression, transgression, and evil.
However, the word also carries the meaning of ‘disobedience’ (rebellion).
Therefore, this name was changed.

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(‘Aasiyah)
The meaning is "disobedient."
A Muslim is obedient, therefore this name is disliked.
The believing wife of Pharaoh was named "Asiyah."
It is permissible to keep this name.
