to Allah than during these ten days.”) (1) There are many similar examples.

[It is remarkable that they favor the word “nine,” while hating nine of the ten, for they hate all of them except Alī.] (2)

Likewise, they shun the names Abū Bakr, Umar, and Uthmān, as well as anyone who bears one of those names, to the point that [indeed] they dislike (3) dealing with him. It is well known that even if these men had been among the most unbelieving of mankind, it still would not have been prescribed that a man should not bear names like theirs. Among the Companions was a man named al-Walīd, and “the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—would supplicate in qunūt on his behalf (4) during the prayer, saying, ‘O Allah, deliver al-Walīd ibn al-Walīd.’” (5) His father, al-Walīd ibn al-Mughīra, was (6) among the greatest of mankind in disbelief. He is the one referred to in the Exalted’s words:

{Leave Me with the one whom I created alone.}

[Surah The Cloaked One: 11] (7)

Among the Companions was a man named Amr, and among the polytheists was one whose

(1) The hadith is reported with this wording from Ibn Abbās—may Allah be pleased with him—in *Sunan al-Tirmidhī*, 2:129 (Book of Fasting, chapter “Reports Concerning Deeds during the First Ten Days”). A report conveying the same meaning from him appears in *al-Bukhārī*, 2:20 (Book of the Two Eids, chapter “The Virtue of Deeds during the Days of Tashrīq”). (2) The words in square brackets are omitted from N and M. (3) N reads: *hattā yakrahū*; A and B read: *hattā yakrahūna*. The adopted reading is from M. (4) “On his behalf” is omitted from A and B. (5) *Al-Bukhārī*, 6:48–49 (Book of Tafsīr, Sūrat al-Nisā, chapter “Perhaps Allah Will Pardon Them”). Abū Hurayra—may Allah be pleased with him—reported: While the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—was performing the evening prayer, he said, “Allah hears whoever praises Him.” Then, before prostrating, he said: “O Allah, deliver Ayyāsh ibn Abī Rabīa. O Allah, deliver Salama ibn Hishām. O Allah, deliver al-Walīd ibn al-Walīd.” The remainder of the hadith follows. It is also found in Muslim, 1:466–467 (Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer, chapter “The Recommendation of Qunūt in All Prayers When a Calamity Befalls the Muslims”). (6) A and B read: “O Allah, deliver al-Walīd ibn al-Walīd ibn al-Mughīra,” and “his father was…” (7) See *Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr* on this verse.
