It is narrated from Ibn Hanfiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion regarding this, that after you, if I have a son, should I give him your name and your kunyah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Yes, that is fine. The narrator says: This was permission from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … To restrict this concession specifically to Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu is the narrator’s personal understanding; the question asked to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the answer given by him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam do not necessitate this.
