Al-Adab al-Mufrad 45 — Should One Use a Kunya for His Father?
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، فَقَال لَهُ سَالِمٌ: الصَّلاَةَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ.
It is narrated from Shahr bin Hawshab: We were going with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), when his (son) Salim said to him: Abu Abdur Rahman! The time for prayer has come.
