This hadith is listed as number 5591 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قال : قال رسول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ " ، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَلَا تَكْتَنُوا .
Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Give the name after my name, but do not give the kunya of Abu'l-Qasim (after my kunya), for I am Abu'l-Qasim (in the sense) that I distribute amongst you (the spoils of war) and disseminate the knowledge (of revelation). This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr (RA) but with a slight variation of wording.
