Mus'ab is an Arabic name symbolizing sovereignty, strength, and defiance, meaning a stallion. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not change this name, and prominent Companions named their sons with it. Righteous predecessors continue to name their children with it. Therefore, naming a newborn with this name is good.
