Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنْ عِشْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْهَى أُمَّتِي أَنْ يُسَمُّوا نَافِعًا، وَأَفْلَحَ، وَبَرَكَةَ ، قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ: وَلَا أَدْرِي ذَكَرَ نَافِعًا أَمْ لَا، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا جَاءَ أَثَمَّ بَرَكَةُ ؟، فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا، قَالَ أبو داود: رَوَى أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَحْوَهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ بَرَكَةَ.

The Arabic text and the translations come from our previous collection: English from hadithapi.com, German and Turkish machine-translated (Gemini) and unreviewed. A new translation from the Arabic with the chain of narration will follow.
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If I survive (God willing), I shall forbid my people to give the names Nafi (beneficial), Aflah (successful) and Barakah (blessing). Al-Amash said: I do not know whether he mentioned Nafi or not. When a man comes and asks: Is there Barakah (blessing)? The people say: No. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been transmitted by Abu al-Zubair on the authority of Jabir from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم through a different chain of narrators. This version has no mention of Barakah.
