Samurah bin Jundub reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Do not call your servant Yasar (wealth), Rabah (profit), Nijih (prosperous) and Aflah (successful), for you may ask; Is he there? And someone says: No. Samurah said: These are four (names), so do not attribute more to me.

Samurah said: The Aposlte of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade giving four names to our slaves: Aflah (successful), Yasar (wealth), Naf (beneficial) and Rabah (profit).

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: 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.
