Arabic text

3733 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ ابْنَةً لِعُمَرَ كَانَ يُقَالُ لَهَا عَاصِيَةُ «فَسَمَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمِيلَةَ»

Commentary

The linguistic meaning of 'Asiyah is disobedient, while a Muslim is obedient, so this name is not likeable. The name of the wife of Pharaoh was Asiyah (with different phonetics) who was a true believer, so using this name is allowed.
