IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-432 : SESIAPA YANG TIDAK MENAMAKAN ANAKNYA DENGAN NAMA MUHAMMAD MAKA DIA ADALAH SEORANG YANG JAHIL
Is there an authentic hadith saying that a man with three sons who does not name one of them Muhammad is ignorant?
Short answer
The hadith does exist in Al-Tabarani's Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabir and Ibn Adiyy's Al-Kamil, but being recorded in a book does not make it acceptable.

Summary
The hadith does exist in Al-Tabarani's Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabir and Ibn Adiyy's Al-Kamil, but being recorded in a book does not make it acceptable. The fatwa leans towards judging Ibn Adiyy's chain as weak, because Laith Bin Abi Sulaim was heavily criticised by hadith scholars and because Mus'ab Bin Sa'id appears in it. The analysis of Al-Tabarani's chain begins in the text but does not reach a conclusion in the portion provided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulan bagi sanad ini, kami lebih cenderung mengatakan bahawa sanad hadis ini lemah disebabkan oleh Laith Bin Abi Sulaim yang banyak dikritik oleh kebanyakan pakar hadis.
