Musnad Ahmad 109 (Book 2, Hadith 27) #33802
Beware of Al-Waleed

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad warned that a man named Al-Waleed will come in the future and be worse to people than Pharaoh was to his people.

It was narrated from Sa'eed bin al-Musayyab that 'Umar bin al-Khattab said: A boy was born to the brother of Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet and they called him al-Waleed. The Prophet said: "You have called him by the name of your pharaoh, for there will be among this ummah a man who is called al-Waleed and he will be worse to them than Pharaoh was to his people".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ وُلِدَ لِأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّوْهُ الْوَلِيدَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ بِأَسْمَاءِ فَرَاعِنَتِكُمْ لَيَكُونَنَّ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْوَلِيدُ لَهُوَ شَرٌّ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ لِقَوْمِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad warned that a man named Al-Waleed will come in the future and be worse to people than Pharaoh was to his people. This hadith serves as a reminder for us all to stay vigilant and aware of our actions so we do not become like this person. It also teaches us that we should not name our children after tyrants or oppressors as it could lead them down the wrong path. We should instead choose names with positive connotations such as those of prophets or righteous individuals from Islamic history. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us of Allah's power over all things; even if someone is powerful now, they may not remain so forever and can be replaced by someone else who is even more oppressive. Finally, it teaches us that no matter how powerful someone may seem now, they are still accountable for their actions before Allah on the Day of Judgment.
