Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Amongst the names of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) was ‘Habibullah’. He referred to himself by this name. (Jaami’ Al-Tirmidhi, vol 2, pg 202, HM Sa’eed / Al-Jaami’ Li Shu’bi al-Imaan, vol 3, pg 81, Al-Rushd)
He was referred to this name as well by:
Allah Ta’ala, as mention in Al-Jaami’ Li al-Hadith al-Qudsi (pg 866, Al-Islaami)
Jibraeel (alayhis salaam) (Al-Mu’jam al-Kabeer, vol 5, pg 30, Al-Ilm wal al-Hikam)
Hassaan Bin Thabit (radiyallaahu anhu) (Sharh Ma’aani Al-Aathaar, vol 12, pg 79, Ilmiyya)
And Allah knows best
Wassalam
