The dearest words to Allah are four: SubhanAllah (Hallowed be Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and AllahuAkbar (God is the Greatest). There is no harm for you in which order you begin (them while remembering Allah), and he also said: Do not give these names to your servants, Yasar and Rabah and Nafi and Najih.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) decided to forbid (his followers) to name persons as Ya'la (Elevated), Barakah (Blessing), Aflah (Successful), Yasar and Nafi', but I saw that he kept silent after that and he did not say anything until Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) died. And he did not forbid (his followers to do this), then Umar decided to prohibit (people) from giving these names, but later on gave up the idea.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
The name of Juwayriyyah (the wife of the Prophet) was Barrah (Pious). Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) changed her name to Juwayriyyah and said: I did not like that it should be said: He had come out from Barrah (Pious).

Narrated Mughirah ibn Shu'bah:
None else had asked more questions from Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) about the Dajjal than I, but he simply said in a (light mood): My son, why are you worried because of him? He will not harm you. I said: The people think that he would have with him rivers of water and mountains of bread, whereupon he said: He would be more insignificant in the sight of Allah than all these things (belonging to him).
Narrated AbuMusa Ash'ari:
AbuMusa went to Umar ibn al-Khattab and greeted him by saying: As-salamu Alaykum, here is Abdullah ibn Qays; but he did not permit him (to go in). He (AbuMusa Ash'ari) again greeted him with As-salamu Alaykum and said: Here is AbuMusa; but he (Umar) did not permit him (to go in). He again said: As-salamu Alaykum, (and said) here is Ash'ari, (then receiving no response he went away). He (Umar) said: Bring him back to me, bring him back to me.
So he went there (into the presence of Umar) and he said to him: AbuMusa, what made you go back, while we were busy in some work? He said; I heard Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: Permission should be sought thrice. And if you are permitted (then go in), otherwise go away. He said: Bring a witness to this fact, otherwise I shall do this and that, i.e. I shall punish you. AbuMusa went away and Umar said to him (on his departure): If he (AbuMusa) finds a witness he should meet him by the side of the pulpit in the evening and if he does not find a witness you will not find him there.
When it was evening he (Umar) found him (AbuMusa) there. He (Umar) said: AbuMusa, have you been able to find a witness to what you have said? He said: Yes. Here is Ubayy ibn Ka'b. Thereupon he (Umar) said: Yes, he is an authentic (witness). He (Umar) said: AbuTufayl (the Kunya of Ubayy ibn Ka'b), what does he (AbuMusa) say? Thereupon he said: Ibn al-Khattab, I heard Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) saying so. Do not prove to be a hard (task-master) to the companions of Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him). So he (Umar) said: Hallowed be Allah, I had heard something (in this connection) but I wished it to be established (as an undeniable fact).
Narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah:
I asked Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) about the sudden glance (that is cast) on the face (of a non-Mahram). He commanded me that I should turn away my eyes.
