Is it permissible to be named 'Abd al-Muttalib?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to be named with these names, namely 'Abd al-Mutajalli, 'Abd al-Nur, and 'Abd al-Muttalib?

Answer:
Regarding 'Abd al-Muttalib, there is no report of it; rather, this was the name of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) grandfather. He was named so for a reason: he came with his brother al-Muttalib, al-Muttalib ibn 'Abd al-Man'am, from Madinah with his brother, who was a black boy. When they were on the journey, when they arrived in Makkah and the people saw him, they thought he was a slave of al-Muttalib and a slave of his brother, so they said, "This is 'Abd al-Muttalib." This is the reason for the name. And this is not permissible; making oneself a slave to other than Allah is not permissible. Yes.
