قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ:

وُلِدَ لِأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ غُلَامٌ، سَمَّوْهُ الْوَلِيدَ، فَدَخَلُوا بِهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَسَمَّيْتُمُوهُ ؟، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ سَمُّوهُ الْوَلِيدَ، قَالَ ﷺ: مَهْ مَهْ، اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ بِاسْمِ فَرَاعِنَتِكُمْ ؟ لَيَكُونَنَّ فِي أُمَّتِي رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْوَلِيدُ، لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: أَيُّ الْوَلِيدِ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: إِنِ اسْتُخْلِفَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، وَإِلَّا فَهُوَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ

✧ A boy was born to the brother of Umm Salama. They named him al-Walid. They brought him in to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Have you named him? They said: Yes, they named him al-Walid. He ﷺ said: Stop, stop! His name is 'Abd al-Rahman. You have named him with the name of your Pharaohs? There will surely be a man in my community called al-Walid; he will be worse for my community than Pharaoh was for his people. 'Abd al-Rahman said: I said to him: Which al-Walid is he? He ﷺ said: If al-Walid b. Yazid becomes caliph, it is he; otherwise it is al-Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik.
