[Machine] My brother's mother, Umm Salama, gave birth to a boy and named him Al-Waleed. This was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "You have named him with the names of your kings. There will certainly be a man in this nation called Al-Waleed, and he will be worse for this nation than Pharaoh was for his people." Al-Zuhri said, "If Al-Waleed ibn Yazid is chosen as the leader, then he is the one. Otherwise, Al-Waleed ibn Abdul Malik is the one."
وُلِدَ لِأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّوْهُ الْوَلِيدُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ بَأَسَامِي فَرَاعِنَتِكُمْ لَيَكُونَنَّ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْوَلِيدُ هُوَ شَرٌّ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ» قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ «إِنِ اسْتُخْلِفَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ فَهُوَ هُوَ وَإِلَّا فَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ»
