Arabic text

٢٨٣٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْوَرَّاقُ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُعَمَّرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ ، عَنْ ‌عَلِيِّ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَحَبُّ الْأَسْمَاءِ إِلَى اللهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

These two names express the servitude to Allāh, and an open announcement of a human's servitude to Allāh is loved by Him.
