[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not call your servant talented, skillful, successful, or profitable. For if you were to say, 'So and so has sinned,' or 'So and so has committed a sin,' then they will say no."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُسَمِّ غُلَامَكَ أَفْلَحَ وَلَا نَجِيحًا وَلَا يَسَارًا وَلَا رَبَاحًا فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ أَثَمَّ هُوَ أَوْ ثَمَّ فُلَانٌ؟ قَالُوا لَا
Do not call your servant Yasar (wealth), Rabah (profit), Nijih(prosperous) and Aflah (successful), for you may ask; Is he there? And someone says: No. Samurah said: These are four (names), so do not attribute more to me.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلاَمَكَ يَسَارًا وَلاَ رَبَاحًا وَلاَ نَجِيحًا وَلاَ أَفْلَحَ فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ فَيَقُولُ لاَ إِنَّمَا هُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ فَلاَ تَزِيدَنَّ عَلَىَّ
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not name your boy Rabah, nor Aflah, nor Yasar, nor Najih, so that it may be said: 'Is he there?' and it may be said: 'No.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُسَمِّي غُلاَمَكَ رَبَاحٌ وَلاَ أَفْلَحُ وَلاَ يَسَارٌ وَلاَ نَجِيحٌ يُقَالُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ فَيُقَالُ لاَ
"لَا تُسَمِّ غُلامَكَ رَبَاحًا، وَلَا أفْلَحَ، وَلا يَسَارًا، ولا نَجِيحًا، يُقَالُ: أَثَمَّ هُوَ؟ فَيُقَالُ: لَا".
