حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِنْ عِشْتُ نَهَيْتُ أُمَّتِي، إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، أَنْ يُسَمِّي أَحَدُهُمْ بَرَكَةَ، وَنَافِعًا، وَأَفْلَحَ، وَلاَ أَدْرِي قَالَ: رَافِعًا أَمْ لاَ؟، يُقَالُ: هَا هُنَا بَرَكَةُ؟ فَيُقَالُ: لَيْسَ هَا هُنَا، فَقُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ.
Narrated Jabir reported:
"The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'If I will, I will prohibit my community, if Allah so wills,
from any of them taking the name Baraka (blessing), Nafi' (Helper) or Aflah
(Most Successful),' and I do not know if he said, Rafi' (one who elevates)
or not. Someone asks, 'Is Baraka (blessing) here?' and is told, 'He (or
it) is not here.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
died because he could forbid that (using those names)."
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَنْهَى أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِيَعْلَى، وَبِبَرَكَةَ، وَنَافِعٍ، وَيَسَارٍ، وَأَفْلَحَ، وَنَحْوَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ بَعْدُ عَنْهَا، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا.
Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, 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."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ أَبِي زُمَيْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا اعْتَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نِسَاءَهُ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَبَاحٍ غُلاَمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَنَادَيْتُ: يَا رَبَاحُ، اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.

and grant him peace, withdrew from his wives, I was with Rabah, the slave
of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
I called, 'Rabah, ask permission for me to come in to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.'"

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Name yourselves with my name,
but do not use my kunya; I am Abu'l-Qasim."
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي السُّوقِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا دَعَوْتُ هَذَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تُكَنُّوا بِكُنْيَتِي.
Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was in the market when a man said, 'Abu'l-Qasim!' The Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned towards him. He said, 'Messenger
of Allah, I was calling this man.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'Call yourselves with my name but do no use my kunya.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلاَّمٍ قَالَ: سَمَّانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُوسُفَ، وَأَقْعَدَنِي عَلَى حِجْرِهِ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِي.
Yusuf ibn 'Abdullah ibn Sallam said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, named me Yusuf and let me sit in his room and
stroked my head."
Narrated Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "One of our men among the Ansar had a
son and wanted to call him Muhammad. The Ansari said, 'I put him on my
shoulder and took him to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
[Another variant has:
"He had a son and they wanted to name him Muhammad."]
The Prophet said, 'Name yourselves with my name but do not use my kunya.
I have been made the distributor (Qasim) to divide things between you.'"
Abu Musa said, "I had a son and I brought him to the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he named him Ibrahim. He chewed

and then gave him back to me." He was Abu Musa's oldest son.
Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab reported that his grandfather went to the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He asked, "What is your
name?" "Hazn (rough)," he replied. The Prophet said, "You are Sahl (easy)."
He said, "I will not change a name which my father gave me." Ibn al-Musayyab
said, "Roughness (hazuna) remained among us afterwards."
