Zubair ibn al-awam (ra) named his children after martyrs, so that perhaps they too would be awarded martyrdom by Allah the Almighty.. Abdullah was named after Abdullah bin Jahsh (ra); Munzir was named after Munzir bin Amr (ra); Urwah was named after Urwah bin Mas‘ud (ra); Hamza was named after Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib (ra); Jafar was named after Jafar bin Abi Talib (ra); Mus‘ab was named after Mus‘ab bin Umair (ra); Ubaidah was named after Ubaidah bin Harith (ra); Khalid was named after Khalid bin Saeed (ra); Amr was named after Amr bin Saeed (ra).. Amr bin Saeed (ra) was martyred in the Battle of Yarmuk. 📚 (al-Tabaqaat-ul-Kubra li ibn Sa‘d, Vol. 3, p. 74, Zubair(ra) bin al-Awwam, Dar-ul-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 1990)

*Lessons:*

Continuation of the previous episodes - as promised:

*The right time to name the baby & the 7th day after baby born:*

When we as the parent should give a name to our child in Islam? One of the right time to give a name on a child is when the baby is born.

Or

There is another Sunnah how the right time to give a name on a child, it is the seventh day of aqiqah. However, some Ulama argues that give a name before the newborn of the baby or after one or two days of the birthday is allowed in Islam.

Evidences:

“My son was born, then I brought him to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). And then he gave him the name Ibrahim (Abu Musa’s eldest son), he fed him with chewing dates and prayed for them blessedly, after that he gave them to me.” 📚(Bukhari)

“Every child is mortgaged with his aqiqah, is cleansed for him on the seventh day, shaves his hair and given a name.” 📚(Abu Dawud, An-Nasai, Ibn Majah, and Ahmad)

*Illegitimate children:*

All ilegitimate children however,, may not be ascribed to their biological father even if the father is known beyond doubt😳. Yes.

✍Abu Hurayrah (RA) and more than twenty (20) other companions narrated that Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said:

“The child belongs to the owner of the mattress, and the adulterer deserves a stone, i.e. is a loser.”

*Ascribing the child to the father & Surname issue:*

Ascribing a child to other than its father is a major sin😳. Yes. Allah say:

ٱدْعُوهُمْ لِءَابَآئِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَمَوَٰلِيكُمْ ۚ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَآ أَخْطَأْتُم بِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

"Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you.. And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but [only for] what your hearts intended.. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful." 📚Qur'an: Al-Ahzaab (33:5)

✍ Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas and Abu Bakrah (RA) reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said:

“Anyone who relates himself to other than his true father, knowing that he is not his father, Jannah will be then prohibited for him.” 📚 Recorded by al-Bukhari, Muslim and others.

Now,

Even new reverts to Islam should not also change their father's name who is not a Muslim

*To help illustrate this point, examine the following:*👇

🔵 Ramlah bint Abi Sufyan: The Mother of the believers, the wife of the Prophet, (pbuh), married the Prophet before her father himself became a Muslim. Yet, she did not change her name and the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, did not order her to change it, although he was one of the Prophet's strongest enemies at the time.
