English translation

6196. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh Al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنهم: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my Kunyah(1), for I am Al-Qāsim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allāh's Blessings." This narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the Prophet ﷺ said so."

Arabic text

6196 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ» وَرَوَاهُ أَنَسٌ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
