"عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: أَرَادَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْهَى أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِيِعْلَى وَبَرَكَةَ وَبأَفْلَحَ وَبِيَسَارٍ وَبِنَافِعٍ وَنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ سَكَتَ بَعْدُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ قُبِضَ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا، ثُمَّ أَرَادَ عُمَرُ أَنْ يَنْهَى عَنْهَا ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ".

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.
