Scholars differ on this name
Ya'fur means a dusty-coloured gazelle, which is a fine meaning. However, it is best known as the name of the Prophet's ﷺ donkey, so people may make that connection.
یعفر کا مطلب خاکی رنگ کا ہرن ہے جو ٹھیک معنی ہے، لیکن یہ زیادہ تر نبی ﷺ کے گدھے کے نام کے طور پر مشہور ہے، اس لیے لوگ اسی سے جوڑ سکتے ہیں۔
