Muhammad bin Amr bin Ata reported: I had given the name Barra to my daughter. Zainab, daughter of Abu Salama, told me that Allahs Messenger ﷺ had forbidden me to give this name. (She said): I was also called Barra, but Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: Dont hold yourself to be pious. It is God alone who knows the people of piety among you. They (the Companions) said: Then, what name should we give to her? He said: Name her as Zainab.
