Al-Adab al-Mufrad 843 — The Name and Kunya of the Prophet ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ، عَنْ مُنْذِرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ يَقُولُ: كَانَتْ رُخْصَةً لِعَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنْ وُلِدَ لِي بَعْدَكَ أُسَمِّيهِ بِاسْمِكَ، وَأُكَنِّيهِ بِكُنْيَتِكَ؟ قَالَ: ”نَعَمْ.“
It is narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), he says that permission was granted to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) (to keep the name and kunyah of the Prophet ﷺ). He said: O Messenger of Allah! If I have a son after you, may I give him your name and kunyah? The Prophet ﷺ said: "Yes."
