حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ , وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْمَعْنَى , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كُلُّ صَوَاحِبِي لَهُنَّ كُنًى , قال : فَاكْتَنِي بابنِكِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ " , يَعْنِي ابْن أخْتُهَا , قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَتْ تُكَنَّى بِأُمِّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قال أبو داود : وَهَكَذَا قَالَ قُرَّانُ بْنُ تَمَّامٍ , وَمَعْمَرٌ جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ نَحْوَهُ ، وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ ، وَكَذَلِكَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , وَمَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ قَعْنَبٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، كَمَا قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Aishah said: Messenger of Allah! All my fellow-wives have kunyahs? He said: Give yourself the kunyah by Abdullah, your son - that is to say, her nephew (her sister's son). Musaddad said: Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr. She was called by the kunyah Umm Abdullah. Abu Dawud said: Qurran bin Tammam and Mamar all have transmitted it from Hisham in a similar manner. It has also been transmitted by Abu Usamah from Hisham, from 'Abbad bin Hamzah. Similarly, Hammad bin Salamah and Maslamah bin Qa'nab have narrated it from Hisham, like the tradition transmitted by Abu Usamah.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The intention of the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (radi Allahu anha), was that a suitable kunyah (agnomen) should also be designated for her.
➋ The Mother of the Believers (radi Allahu anha) said this because she had no children by whose name she could adopt a kunyah.
➌ The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) most likely assigned the kunyah of Aisha (radi Allahu anha) in relation to Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr (radi Allahu anhu), who was the nephew of the Mother of the Believers (radi Allahu anha) and the son of Asma bint Abi Bakr (radi Allahu anha).
