As for merely mentioning the single name detached from a sentence and meaning, it is not part of divine guidance,
مُجَرَّدًا — detached. 'stripped, detached', a participle used as a state-description — accusative because it tells the circumstance ('while detached'). It sets up 'cut off from any sentence'.
From: Words That Nourish the Heart →الاسمُ المجرّدُ لا يبني شيئًا؛ أمّا الجملةُ المشروعةُ فتبني قلبًا وسلوكًا
A mere name builds nothing; but a prescribed sentence builds both heart and conduct.
المُجَرَّدُ — mere. 'the stripped, bare', a passive participle on 'the name', agreeing as definite, masculine, nominative. Being passive, it casts the name as one left with nothing attached.
