2835. ‘Umar [bin Al-Khaṭṭāb] narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “I forbid naming with Rāfi’, Barakah and Yasār.”] (Sahīh)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. This is how Abū Aḥmad reported it from Sufyān, from Abū Az-Zubair, from Jābir, from ‘Umar. [Others reported it from Sufyān, from Abū Az-Zubair, from
Jābir from the Prophet ﷺ].
Abū Aḥmad is trustworthy, a Hāfiz. What is popular among the people (of knowledge) is that this is a narration of Jābir from the Prophet ﷺ, and that it is not from 'Umar.

Commentary
The people normally take good omens from the names; therefore the Prophet did not like such names, because saying 'no' in answer to these names is disliked and detested. So answering 'no' to a person who calls someone named 'Nāfir' (profitable), Barakah (blessed) and Yasār (easy)' is not a good impression.
