6187. Narrated Jābir رضي الله عنه: A man among us begot a boy whom he named Al- Qāsim. The people said, "We will not call him (i.e., the father) by that Kunyah (Abūl-Qāsim) till we ask the Prophet ﷺ about it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Name yourselves by my name, but do not call (yourselves) by my Kunyah."(1)

Arabic text

6187 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ القَاسِمَ، فَقَالُوا: لاَ نَكْنِيهِ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي»
