8. Shāmīs
٨۔ مسند الشاميين
[Machine] In the pre-Islamic era, my father's name was Aziz. However, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named him Abdur-Rahman.
كَانَ اسْمُ أَبِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ عَزِيزًا فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, among the best of your names are Abdul-Allah, Abdul-Rahman, and Al-Harith."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَسْمَائِكُمْ عَبْدَ اللهِ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْحَارِثَ
[Machine] His father, Abdulrahman, went with his grandfather to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What is your son's name?" He replied, "Aziz." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not name him Aziz, but name him Abdulrahman." Then he said, "Indeed, the best names are Abdullah, Abdulrahman, and Al-Harith."
أَنَّ أَبَاهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ذَهَبَ مَعَ جَدِّهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا اسْمُ ابْنِكَ؟ قَالَ عَزِيزٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا تُسَمِّهِ عَزِيزًا وَلَكِنْ سَمِّهِ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ خَيْرَ الْأَسْمَاءِ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْحَارِثُ
[Machine] He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Who is your son?" He replied, "Fulan and Fulan and Abdullah and Abdulrahman." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Abdulrahman is the most deserving of your names or the best of your names, if you name him Abdullah or Abdulrahman and Harith."
أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا وَلَدُكَ؟ قَالَ فُلَانُ وَفُلَانُ وَعَبْدُ الْعُزَّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ أَسْمَائِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَسْمَائِكُمْ إِنْ سَمَّيْتُمْ عَبْدَ اللهِوَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْحَارِثَ
[Machine] My grandfather had a son and named him Aziz. He came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "I had a son." The Prophet asked, "What did you name him?" He replied, "I named him Aziz." The Prophet said, "No, rather he is the servant of the Merciful." He said, "Then he is my father."
وَلَدَ جَدِّي غُلَامًا فَسَمَّاهُ عَزِيزًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ قَالَ فَمَا سَمَّيْتَهُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ عَزِيزًا قَالَ لَا بَلْ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ فَهُوَ أَبِي
