Abu Dawud said: Ibn Abi Zakariyya did not meet Abu al-Darda'.

4949 - Ibrahim ibn Ziyad Sabalan narrated to us, 'Abbad ibn 'Abbad narrated to us, from 'Ubayd Allah, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The most beloved names to Allah Almighty are 'Abd Allah (servant of Allah) and 'Abd al-Rahman (servant of the Most Merciful)."

=============================================
It was also recorded by 'Abd ibn Humayd in his "Musnad" (213) from 'Amr ibn 'Awn, with this chain of transmission.
It was also recorded by Ahmad in his "Musnad" (21693), al-Darimi in his "Sunan" (2694), Abu al-Qasim al-Baghawi in "al-Ja'diyyat" (2584), Ibn Hibban in his "Sahih" (5818), Abu Nu'aym in "al-Hilya" 5/152 and 9/58-59, al-Bayhaqi in "al-Sunan" 9/306 and in "al-Shu'ab" (8633), and al-Baghawi in "Sharh al-Sunnah" (3360) through various routes from Hushaym ibn Bashir, with this chain.

It is established that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, changed the names of some of the Companions. See the hadiths on this in "al-Musnad," at the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (4682), and at our hadith numbered (21693). It will also come later in this work, in the chapter on changing an ugly name, where the hadith of Ibn 'Umar and others will be mentioned.

Ibn al-Qayyim said in "Mukhtasar Sunan Abi Dawud" 7/250: In this hadith is a refutation of those who say that people on the Day of Resurrection will be called by their mothers' names, not their fathers'. Al-Bukhari titled a chapter in his "Sahih" immediately after hadith (6176) accordingly, saying: Chapter on people being called by their fathers' names, and he mentioned therein (6177) the hadith of Nafi' from Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The treacherous one will have a banner raised for him on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said: This is the treachery of so-and-so, son of so-and-so."

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic. 'Abbad ibn 'Abbad: he is Ibn Habib ibn al-Muhallab, and 'Ubayd Allah: he is Ibn 'Umar ibn Hafs.
It was also recorded by Muslim (2132) from Ibrahim ibn Ziyad, with this chain of transmission. Muslim also paired with 'Ubayd Allah his brother 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar.
It was also recorded by Ibn Majah (3728) and al-Tirmidhi (3046) via the route of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar al-'Umari, and by al-Tirmidhi (3045) via the route of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Uthman, both from Nafi', with this chain.
It is also in "Musnad Ahmad" (4774). See the complete citation and the hadiths of this chapter therein. =
