[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the most beloved names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur Rahman." This is a wording from the hadith of Abu Abdullah, and it is not found in the sayings of the others, which are called "Sabalan" or "At-Tareekh."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ أَسْمَائِكُمْ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ الْبَاقِينَ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ سَبَلَانُ وَلَا التَّارِيخُ
The Prophet ﷺ said: Call yourselves by the names of the Prophets. The names dearest to Allah are Abdullah and AbdurRahman, the truest are Harith and Hammam, and the worst are Harb and Murrah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4950)
عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْجُشَمِيِّ ؓ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَمُّوا بِأَسْمَاءِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَأَحَبُّ الْأَسْمَاءِ إِلَى اللهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَصْدَقُهَا حَارِثٌ وَهَمَّامٌ وَأَقْبَحُهَا حَرْبٌ وَمُرَّةُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers on the Day of Resurrection, so improve your names. This is a message from the son of Abu Zakariya who has not heard from Abu Darda."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ تُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَسْمَائِكُمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِكُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا أَسْمَاءَكُمْ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ ابْنُ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ
