Hadith 842
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ الْقَاسِمَ، فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ: لَا نُكَنِّيكَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، وَلَا نُنْعِمُكَ عَيْنًا، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا قَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”أَحْسَنَتِ الأَنْصَارُ، تَسَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a child was born to one of us, so he named him Qasim. The Ansar said: "We will not call you Abu al-Qasim, nor will we cool your eyes (by doing so)." So that man went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what the Ansar had said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Ansar have done well. Name after my name, but do not take my kunyah, for I am (truly) al-Qasim."
Hadith 843
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."
Hadith 844
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ اسْمِهِ وَكُنْيَتِهِ، وَقَالَ: ”أَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ، وَاللَّهُ يُعْطِي، وَأَنَا أَقْسِمُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade combining his name and his kunyah together, and said: "I am Abu al-Qasim. Allah gives and I distribute."
Hadith 845
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: دَعَوْتُ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: ”سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تُكَنُّوا بِكُنْيَتِي.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in the market when a man called out: "O Abu al-Qasim!" The Prophet (peace be upon him) turned towards him, so the man said: "I was calling him," meaning another person. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Name yourselves with my name, but do not take my kunyah (Abu al-Qasim) as your kunyah."
