4970. It was narrated from Hammād, from Hishām bin ‘Urwah, from his father that ‘Aishah said: “O Messenger of Allāh, all my friends have a Kunyah.” He said: “Call yourself by the name of your son ‘Abdullāh” - meaning the son of her sister. Musad-dad said: “‘Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair.” He said: “So she was known by the Kunyah of Umm ‘Abdullāh.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū Dāwūd said: This is how it was reported by Qurrān bin Tammām and Ma‘mar, both of them from Hishām, similarly. Abū Usāmah reported it from Hishām from ‘Abbād bin Ḥamzah, and like that, Ḥammad bin Salamah and Maslamah bin Qan‘ab (reported) it from Hishām, saying just as Abū Usāmah did.
