حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَقِيلُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ تَسَمَّوْا بِأَسْمَاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَأَحَبُّ الأسْمَاءِ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ‏:‏ عَبْدُ اللهِ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَأَصْدَقُهَا‏:‏ حَارِثٌ، وَهَمَّامٌ، وَأَقْبَحُهَا‏:‏ حَرْبٌ، وَمُرَّةُ‏.‏

الأدب المفرد · Hadith 814

Abu Wahb, a Companion, reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Name yourselves with the names of the Prophets. The names which Allah Almighty loves most are 'Abdullah and 'Abdu'r-Rahman. The most truthful names are Harith and Humam. The ugliest names are Harb and Murra."
