2836. Samurah bin Jundab narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not name your boy Rabāḥ, nor Aflaḥ, nor Yasār, nor Najīḥ, so that it may be said: 'Is he there?' and it may be said: 'No.'"[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

٢٨٣٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ ‌شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ ‌مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ ‌هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، عَنِ ‌الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ عَمِيلَةَ الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ ‌سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تُسَمِّ غُلَامَكَ رَبَاحًا، وَلَا أَفْلَحَ، وَلَا يَسَارًا، وَلَا نَجِيحًا» يُقَالُ: أَثَمَّ هُوَ؟ فَيُقَالُ: لَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
