حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَنْهَى أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِيَعْلَى، وَبِبَرَكَةَ، وَنَافِعٍ، وَيَسَارٍ، وَأَفْلَحَ، وَنَحْوَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ بَعْدُ عَنْهَا، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا.


Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, wanted to forbid people calling themselves Ya'la (to rise),Baraka (blessing), Nafi' (Helper), Yasar (good fortune), Aflah (most successful)and names like that. Then he was silent about that matter and did not sayanything."
