Hadith #51672
وَعَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ لَا يَتَطَيَّرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِذَا بَعَثَ عَامِلًا سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِهِ فَإِذَا أَعْجَبَهُ اسْمه فَرح بِهِ ورئي بشر ذَلِك على وَجْهِهِ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ اسْمَهُ رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَةُ ذَلِكَ على وَجْهِهِ وَإِذَا دَخَلَ قَرْيَةً سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِهَا فَإِنْ أَعْجَبَهُ اسْمُهَا فَرِحَ بِهِ وَرُئِيَ بِشْرُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ اسْمَهَا رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَة ذَلِك فِي وَجهه. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
And on the authority of Buraidah: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not disdain anything, so when he sent a worker, he asked about his name, and if he liked his name, he rejoiced. With it, good tidings of that will be seen on his face, and if he hates its name, it will be seen that he hates it on his face, and when he enters a town, he will ask about its name, if he likes it. He rejoiced in her name, and the good news of that was seen on his face, and if he hated her name, the dislike of that was seen on his face. Narrated by Abu Dawood
