What kind of names did Allah teach Hazrat Adam?

Allah taught Hazrat Adam the names of Everything 

He taught Adam the names of all things, then He presented them to the angels and said, “Tell Me the names of these, if what you say is true?” They replied, “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. You are truly the All-Knowing, All-Wise.” Allah said, “O Adam! Inform them of their names.” Then when Adam did, Allah said, “Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal?”

Chapter 2 (Surah Al-Baqarah) verse 31-33

 

What kind of names did Allah teach Hazrat Adam? Ibn ‘Abbãs u said about these names: These are the names of those objects through which people recognise things and communicate in their daily life, be they big or small, like humans, animals, earth, lands, seas, mountains, camel, donkey, and similar names of the nations and otherwise. Mujahid said: He taught him the names of dishes and pots. He taught him the names of every animal, every bird and every thing. That is how it is explained also by Sa’id bin Jubair, Qatadah and others. Ar-Rabi said: He taught him the names of the angels. However, the preferable opinion is that Allah taught him the names of all creation, and their functions, be they smallest of objects or largest of them, as indicated by In ‘Abbas.

Hazrat Adam told the names to angels

Then He displayed them before angels and said: ‘Tell me the names of these if you are truthful.” Al-Hasan Al-Basri says: When Allah intended to create Adam, the angels said: “Our Lord does not create any creature but we are more knowledgeable than that creature.”So they were put to a test, and that is why He said: “If you are truthful.” The angels said: “Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what You have taught us, You are the All-Knowing, All-Wise.” He (then) said: ‘O Adam! Tell them of their names.’ When he had told them of their names, Allah said: ‘Did I not tell you that I know the unseen (secrets) of the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal.” Meaning I know the secrets and hidden (of this existence) as I know the known and most manifest of every creature).
