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 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.
