Historical Usage

Historical References

Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated that Abu Hurairah (R.A.) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'The best of names for a Muslim is 'Abd ar-Rahman' (the slave of Allah's mercy), and the worst of names for a Muslim is 'Namim' (the one who is neglectful of the remembrance of Allah). And the best of names for an Arab is 'Aqeel' (the one who is insightful, intelligent), and the worst of names for an Arab is 'Aqwa' (the one who is stupid).'

Ibn Kathir in Al-Bidayah wa Al-Nihayah mentioned that the title 'Aqwa' was given to a man from the Banu Asad tribe in pre-Islamic times due to his extreme stupidity.
