جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قال : وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ ، فَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ : لَا نَدَعُكَ تُسَمِّي بِاسْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِابْنِهِ حَامِلَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ ، فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ مُحَمَّدًا ، فَقَالَ لِي قَوْمِي : لَا نَدَعُكَ تُسَمِّي بِاسْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ " .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported that a child was born to a person amongst us and he gave him the name of Muhammad. Thereupon his people said: We will not allow you to give the name of Muhammad (to your child) after the name of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He set forth with his son carrying him on his back and came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , and said: Allah's Messenger a son has been born to me and I have given him the name after the name of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Give him my name but do not give him my kunya, for I am Qasim in the sense that I distribute (the spoils of war) and the dues of Zakat amongst you.
