حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَقِيلُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْجُشَمِيِّ، وَكَانَتْ، لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ تَسَمَّوْا بِأَسْمَاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَأَحَبُّ الأَسْمَاءِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَصْدَقُهَا حَارِثٌ وَهَمَّامٌ وَأَقْبَحُهَا حَرْبٌ وَمُرَّةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how we should name ourselves. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised us to call ourselves by the names of prophets as these are beloved by Allah. He also mentioned some specific names that are dearest to Allah such as Abdullah and AbdurRahman, truest such as Harith and Hammam, and worst such as Harb and Murrah. We should strive for good character traits in order for our name to be beloved by Allah. We should also avoid bad character traits so our name does not become disliked or cursed by Him.
