IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-301: YASIN DAN TAHA MERUPAKAN NAMA NABI MUHAMMAD SAW
Are Taha and Yasin truly names of the Prophet Muhammad SAW?
Short answer
The attribution of Taha and Yasin as names of the Prophet SAW comes from a report cited by al-Qadhi Iyadh in a weak form of transmission (tamridh), and also by Ibn Asakir and Ibn Adiy.

Summary
The attribution of Taha and Yasin as names of the Prophet SAW comes from a report cited by al-Qadhi Iyadh in a weak form of transmission (tamridh), and also by Ibn Asakir and Ibn Adiy. Scholars differ: al-Sa'di holds that Taha is one of the disjointed letters and not a name of the Prophet SAW, while Wahbah al-Zuhaili regards the view that Taha is his name as acceptable, and mentions Yasin as either his name or disjointed letters. The ruling is that one may choose any of these views, since the matter does not involve legal rulings or fundamentals of creed.
