حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ
إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكَ حَدِيثًا فَلَا تَزِيدَنَّ عَلَيَّ، وَقَالَ: أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ أَطْيَبِ الْكَلَامِ، وَهُنَّ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَا تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلَامَكَ أَفْلَحَ وَلَا نَجِيحًا وَلَا رَبَاحًا وَلَا يَسَارًا

✧ When I narrate a hadith to you, do not add anything to it on my behalf. And he said: 'Four phrases are among the best of speech, and they are from the Quran; it does not harm you with which of them you begin: Subhan Allah, Al-hamdu lillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu akbar.' Then he said: 'Do not name your boy Aflah, Najih, Rabah, or Yasar.'
