[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited a man from being named Harith, Walid, Hakeem, Abu Al-Hakeem, Aflah, Najeeh, or Yasar. And he said, "Indeed, the most beloved names to Allah ﷻ are those that are worshipped through them."  

الطبراني:٩٩٩٢حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْأَبَّارُ ثنا مُعلَّلُ بْنُ نُفَيْلٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُسَمَّى الرَّجُلُ حَارِثٌ أَوْ وَلِيدٌ أَوْ حَكَمٌ أَوْ أَبُو الْحَكَمِ أَوْ أَفْلَحُ أَوْ نَجِيحٌ أَوْ يَسَارٌ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْأَسْمَاءِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ مَا تُعُبِّدَ بِهِ»
