Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادٌ أَوْ عَبَّادٌ عَنْ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَبْرَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا وَلَدُكَ قَالَ فُلَانُ وَفُلَانُ وَعَبْدُ الْعُزَّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ أَسْمَائِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَسْمَائِكُمْ إِنْ سَمَّيْتُمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْحَارِثَ.
English Translation
Surayj ibn al-Nu'man told us, Ziyad or Abbad told us, from al-Hajjaj, from Umayr ibn Sa'id, from Sabrah ibn Abi Sabrah, from his father, that he came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: What are your children named? He said: So-and-so, so-and-so, and Abdul Uzza. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: He is Abdul Rahman. Indeed the most fitting of your names, or among the best of your names, if you are naming your children, are Abdullah, Abdul Rahman, and al-Harith.
