حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنْ عِشْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، زَجَرْتُ أَنْ يُسَمَّى: بَرَكَةُ، وَيَسَارٌ، وَنَافِعٍ - قَالَ جَابِرٌ: لَا أَدْرِي، ذَكَرَ رَافِعًا أَمْ لَا - إِنَّهُ يُقَالَ لَهُ: هَاهُنَا بَرَكَةٌ؟ فَيُقَالَ: لَا، وَيُقَالَ: هَاهُنَا يَسَارٌ، فَيُقَالَ: لَا "، قَالَ: فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَمْ يَزْجُرْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، " فَأَرَادَ عُمَرُ أَنْ يَزْجُرَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ " (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: If I remain alive, then insha’Allah I will strictly forbid people from naming (their children) Barakah, Yasaar, and Nafi’. Now I do not remember whether the Prophet (ﷺ) also mentioned the name Rafi’ or not. And the reason he stated was that someone asks another, “Is Barakah (blessing) here?” and he replies, “No.” Someone asks, “Is Yasaar (ease) here?” and he replies, “No.” But before this, the Prophet (ﷺ) passed away. Then Umar intended to strictly prohibit this, but then he abandoned it.
