حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكَ (٢) حَدِيثًا، فَلَا تَزِيدَنَّ عَلَيَّ " (٣)، وَقَالَ: " أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ أَطْيَبِ الْكَلَامِ، وَهُنَّ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " لَا تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلَامَكَ أَفْلَحَ، وَلَا نَجِيحًا، وَلَا رَبَاحًا، وَلَا يَسَارًا " (٤)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: When I narrate a hadith to you, do not ask for more than that. The most beloved words to Allah are four: La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, and Alhamdulillah. You may begin with any of them; there is no harm in it. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not name your children Aflah (successful), Najeeh (prosperous), Yasar (ease), or Rabah (profit).
