6189. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: رضي الله عنه A man among us begot a boy whom he named Al-Qāsim. The people said (to him), "We will not call you Abul-Qāsim, nor will we please you by calling you so." The man came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Name your son 'Abdur-Rahmān."

Arabic text

6189 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ المُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ القَاسِمَ، فَقَالُوا: لاَ نَكْنِيكَ بِأَبِي القَاسِمِ وَلاَ نُنْعِمُكَ عَيْنًا، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَسْمِ ابْنَكَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ»
