2841. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited that one use his name and his Kunyah; naming themselves Muḥammad Abul-Qāsim. (Ṣaḥīḥ) There is something on this topic from Jābir. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. (Another chain of narration) And in this Ḥadīth there is what proves that it is disliked to use the Kunyah Abul-Qāsim.
٢٨٤١ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى أَنْ يَجْمَعَ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَ اسْمِهِ وَكُنْيَتِهِ، وَيُسَمِّيَ مُحَمَّدًا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ كَرِهَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ اسْمِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكُنْيَتِهِ، وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ.

It was the custom of the Arabs that due to honor and respect they would call a person by his Kunyah (saying: O father of so-and-so; O mother of so-and-so) instead of his/her proper name. Therefore if one has the Kunyah 'Abul- Qāsim' he would be called by it; it could create confusion in the life of the Messenger of Allāh, as mentioned in the following Hadīth; so the Prophet ﷺ disliked the use of his Kunyah by others.
