Question

What is the status of the following Hadith?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“When a Muslim spends the night with his wife and makes the intention that if she falls pregnant, he will name the child Muhammad, then Allah Ta’ala will bless them with a male offspring. And Allah Ta’ala blesses the home in which there is someone named Muhammad”

 

Answer

‘Allamah Dhahabi and other Muhaddithun have declared this narration a fabrication. The Hadith is not suitable to quote.

حديث: «ما من مسلم دنا من زوجته وهو ينوي إن حملت منه أن يسميه محمدا إلا رزقه الله تعالى ذكرا، وما كان اسم محمد في بيت إلا جعل الله في ذلك البيت بركة» (ابن الجوزي) من حديث مسور بن مخرمة وقال لا يصح فيه سليمان بن داود مجروح وشيخه عبثر بن الحسن مجهول، ويحيى بن سليم الطايفي لا يحتج به (قلت) قال الذهبي في تلخيصه حديث موضوع وسنده مظلم والله أعلم.
