3538. Narrated Jābir رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Name yourselves after me, but do not call yourselves by my Kunya.” (1) (Ch. 20) Kunya means calling a man : O father of so-and-so, or a woman : O mother of so-and-so and this is a custom of Arabs.
3538 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي»
