"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".
Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "The Prophet ﷺ wanted to forbid people calling themselves Ya'la (to rise), Baraka (blessing), Nafi' (Helper), Yasar (good fortune), Aflah (most successful) and names like that. Then he was silent about that matter and did not say anything."
سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْهَى أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِيَعْلَى وَبِبَرَكَةَ وَنَافِعٍ وَيَسَارٍ وَأَفْلَحَ وَنَحْوَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ بَعْدُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا
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.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْهَى عَنْ أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِيَعْلَى وَبِبَرَكَةَ وَبِأَفْلَحَ وَبِيَسَارٍ وَبِنَافِعٍ وَبِنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ سَكَتَ بَعْدُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ عُمَرُ أَنْ يَنْهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ
