2842. Jābir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When you name yourself after me, then do not use my Kunyah." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharib [from this route]. Some of the people of knowledge disliked for a man to use both the name of the Prophet ﷺ and his Kunyah, while some of them did that. It has been related that the Prophet ﷺ heard a man in the market calling: "O Abul-Qāsim!" So the Prophet ﷺ turned and the man said: "Not you." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not use my Kunyah." And in this Hadīth there is what proves that it is disliked to use the Kunyah Abū Al-Qāsim.

٢٨٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنِ ‌الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا تَسَمَّيْتُمْ بِي فَلَا تَكْتَنُوا بِي» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.
