حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَنْهَى عَنْ أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِيَعْلَى وَبِبَرَكَةَ وَبِأَفْلَحَ وَبِيَسَارٍ وَبِنَافِعٍ وَبِنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ سَكَتَ بَعْدُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ عُمَرُ أَنْ يَنْهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ .

English translation
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) decided to forbid (his followers) to name persons as Ya'la (Elevated), Baraka (Blessing), Aflah (Successful), Yasar and Nafi', but I saw that he kept silent after that and he did not say anything until Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died. And he did not forbid (his followers to do this), then 'Umar decided to prohibit (people) from giving these names, but later on gave up the idea
বাংলা অনুবাদ
মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু আহমাদ ইবনু আবূ খালাফ (রহঃ) ..... জাবির ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ইয়া'লা, বারাকাহ, আফলাহ, ইয়াসার ও নাফি’ ইত্যাদি এ রকম নাম রাখা বারণ করার ইচ্ছা পোষণ করেছিলেন। অতঃপর তাকে আমি লক্ষ্য করলাম যে, এ ব্যাপারে তিনি নিশ্চুপ রইলেন, কিছু বললেন না। তারপর রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে উঠিয়ে নেয়া হলো এবং তিনি তা (শক্তভাবে) বারণ করেননি। পরে উমার (রাযিঃ) তা বারণ করার ইচ্ছা পোষণ করলেন, তারপর তিনিও তা পরিত্যাগ করেন। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৪১৮, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
