Text and translation

English translation

4950. It was narrated that Abū Wahb Al-Jushamī – who was a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ – said: "Call yourselves by the names of the Prophets. The most beloved of names to Allāh are 'Abdullāh and 'Abdur-Raḥmān, and the truest of names are Hārīth (earner) and Hammām (one who is always thinking of an action), and the most reprehensible names are Harb (war) and Murrah (bitter)." (Da'if)

Arabic text

4950 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَقِيلُ ابْنُ شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْجُشَمِيِّ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَسَمَّوْا بِأَسْمَاءِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَأَحَبُّ الْأَسْمَاءِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَأَصْدَقُهَا حَارِثٌ، وَهَمَّامٌ، وَأَقْبَحُهَا حَرْبٌ وَمُرَّةُ»
