Hadith 4758

عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ وُلِدَ لِي بَعْدَكَ وَلَدٌ أُسَمِّيهِ بِاسْمِكَ وَأُكَنِّيهِ بِكُنْيَتِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ
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.
