٦١۔ كِتَابُ الضَّحَايَا
[Machine] To name our horse four names: Afalah, Rabah, Yasar, and Nafi'a.
أَنْ نُسَمِّيَ رَقِيقَنَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَسْمَاءٍ أَفْلَحَ وَرَبَاحًا وَيَسَارًا وَنَافِعًا
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said "The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater). There is no harm for you in which of them begin with (while remembering Allah). And do not give these names to your servants: Yasar and Rabah and Najih and Aflah. (Using translation from Muslim 2137a)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ أَرْبَعٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ لَا تُسَمِّ غُلَامَكَ يَسَارًا وَلَا رَبَاحًا وَلَا نَجِيحًا وَلَا أَفْلَحَ فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ؟ فَلَا يَكُونُ فَيَقُولُ لَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعٌ فَلَا تَزِيدُنَّ عَلَيَّ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided to forbid (his followers) to name persons as Ya'la (Elevated), Baraka (Blessing), Aflah (Successful), Yasar and Nafi', but I saw that he kept silent after that and he did not say anything until Messenger of Allah ﷺ died. And he did not forbid (his followers to do this), then 'Umar decided to prohibit (people) from giving these names, but later on gave up the idea. (Using translation from Muslim 2138)
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا ؓ يَقُولُ أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْهَى عَنْ أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِيَعْلَى وَبَرَكَةَ وَبِأَفْلَحَ وَبِيَسَارٍ وَبِنَافِعٍ وَنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ سَكَتَ بَعْدُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قُبِضَ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَنْ يَنْهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ
[Machine] The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The most honorable name to Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man named Maliku al-Amalak." The wording of the hadith is narrated by Ahmad, and Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah added in his narration, "There is no owner except Allah."
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ يُسَمَّى مَلِكَ الْأَمْلَاكِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ زَادَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ لَا مَالِكَ إِلَّا اللهُ
