Best names for Children
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade some names that appear to be good, because the way in which they are used in some sentences and phrases may be bad. Muslim (2137) narrated from Samurah ibn Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger forbade us to call our boys Rabaah (gain), Yasaar (wealth), Nujayh (successful) or Aflah (prosperous). Why is that? The Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) explained the reason for that prohibition, as he said: “For you will say, Is he there? And if he is not, you will say, No.” In other words, you will ask about him, saying: Is Rabah (profit) or Aflah (prosperous) with you? And if he is not there, then the one who answers will say no. From this negative response, it will be as if he is saying that there is no prosperity or gain with him, which is a negative meaning that people would not like to hear, even though the speaker does not intend this negative meaning.
This hadith also indicates that not every word that is mentioned in the Qur’an is good as a name. The word aflaha is mentioned in the Qur’an, where Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): { Certainly will the believers have succeeded [aflaha]} [al-Mu’minoon 32:1], but despite that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade using it as a name.
