There are many names that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not change, such as Salih, Sa'id, Sa'd, and Mubarak; they are all purified names.
The Shaykh:
There is a criterion in this. I do not know anything except the restriction to what is established by the texts; I do not know anything except the restriction to what is established by the texts. Yes.
The questioner:
What does "judgment of her soul" mean? Judgment of her soul, glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh:
Glory be to Allah in her soul, glory be to Allah, you have added to His Throne, glory be to Allah in His words regarding that. But here there is an addition that her name was Bara; this is an addition here, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named her Juwayriyah. Yes.
