[5601] 12 - (2137) It was narrated that Samurah bin Jundab said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The most beloved of words to Allâh are four: Subhân-Allâh (Glory be to Allâh), Al-hamdu-Lillâh (praise be to Allâh), Lâ ilâha illallâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) and Allâhu-Akbar (Allâh is most Great), and it does not matter with which of them you start. And do not call your boys Yasâr, Rabâh, Najîh or Aflah, for you will say: 'Is he there,' and if he is not you will say: 'No.'" “They are only four, and do not ask me any more.”

12 - (2137) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ عُمَيْلَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ أَرْبَعٌ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ. لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ " "وَلَا تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلَامَكَ يَسَارًا، وَلَا رَبَاحًا، وَلَا نَجِيحًا، وَلَا أَفْلَحَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ: أَثَمَّ هُوَ؟ فَلَا يَكُونُ فَيَقُولُ: لَا إِنَّمَا هُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ فَلَا تَزِيدُنَّ عَلَيَّ "
