بَابُ أَسْمَاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِChapter: Names of the Prophets
Hadith 837
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا دَعَوْتُ هَذَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تُكَنُّوا بِكُنْيَتِي.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was in the market when a man called out: "O Abu al-Qasim!" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned towards him, so the man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I was calling him." Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Name yourselves with my name, but do not take my kunya (patronymic)."
