اختِيارُ الأسماءِ الحَسَنَةِ / Choosing Good Names

1ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): استَحسِنُوا أسماءَكُم ؛ فإنّكُم تُدعَوْنَ بها يَومَ القِيامَةِ: قُمْ يا فُلانَ ابنَ فُلانٍ إلى نورِكَ ، وقُمْ يا فُلانَ ابنَ فُلانٍ لا نُورَ لَكَ.
1– The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Keep good names for yourselves, for verily you will be called by them on the Day of Resurrection: Come O x son of x towards your light, or: O x son of x, there is no light for you.’
[al-Kafi, v. 6, p. 19, no. 10]
