The Prophet’s optimism regarding good names and his dislike of disliked names

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distance himself from good names? And did he have bad omens from few names? And what about the story of the man who was also sent in the Surah of al-Qadiyyah? So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) followed regarding Nasim, he said:

Answer:
When he approached, he knew Suhayl. When Suhayl ibn 'Amr approached, he said: "Suhayl, you have a choice in your matter." So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), yes, he liked understanding, as in the hadith: he liked understanding when he heard a good word or heard a good name, for he liked that and took a good omen from it and hoped for good from Allah.
As for when he heard a disliked name, he disliked it, but he did not take a bad omen from it, (peace and blessings be upon him). And he did not leave what he had resolved to do, nor did that turn him back from proceeding in what he intended. Even though he disliked that thing, it did not turn him back from proceeding in his work and in what he intended, (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
