Authentic Supplications of the Prophet
Upon Child Birth (247) |
| The Prophet
chnaged ugly names to nice names, Zaynab used to be called: Barrah
[which means pious] so he said: She is complementing herself, so he
called her Zaynab, and he used to hate that it be said: He just left
Barrah's company. And he said to a man: What is your name? he said
Hazanun [which means sad], he said: Rather you are Sahl [which means
easy], and he changed the name Aasiyata [which means disobedient women],
naming her: Jameelah [which means beautiful]. And he said to a man:
What is your name? He said: 'Asram [which means a poor man havinf
numerous family]. He said: Rather you are Zur`atah [which means a
seed]. And he named a land that used to be called: `Afratah [which
means dust colored]: Khadhratun [which means green]. |
