4-118 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted his father, on the authority of Ahmad ibn an-Nazr, on the authority of Amr ibn Shimr, on the authority of Jabir, on the authority of Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) that on the pulpit God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
Indeed the best four names are Abdullah, Abdul Rahman, Haritha and Himam. And the worst four names are Zarar, Marrat, Harb and Zalim.”
