Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 821

Translation

✧ He entered upon Zaynab bt. Abī Salama and she asked him about the name of a sister of his who was with him. He said: I said, “Her name is Barra.” She said: Change her name, for the Prophet ﷺ married Zaynab bt. Jaḥsh when her name was Barra, and he changed her name to Zaynab. And he entered upon Umm Salama when he married her, and my name was Barra. He heard her calling me Barra, so he said: Do not praise yourselves, for Allah knows best who among you is righteous and who is sinful. Call her Zaynab. She said: So she is Zaynab. I said to her: Give a name. She said: Change it to what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed it to, so call her Zaynab.
