[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with my son, and he said, "What is your son's name?" So I said, "Fulan and Fulan and Abdul-Uzza." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of your names are Abdullah, Abdul-Rahman, and Al-Harith."  

الطبراني:١٩٠٤٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ السِّقْطِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ثنا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَبْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَعَ ابْنِي فَقَالَ «مَا وَلَدُكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ وَعَبْدُ الْعُزَّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ أَسْمَائِكُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْحَارِثُ»
