Musnad Abi Ya'la 1915 — a son was born to a man among us, and he named
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ : لَا نَدَعُكَ تُسَمِّيهِ بِاسْمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِابْنِهِ حَامِلَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ ، فَأَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ مُحَمَّدًا ، فَقَالَ لِي قَوْمِي : لَا نَدَعُكَ تُسَمِّيهِ بِاسْمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقَالَ : تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي ، وَلَا تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a son was born to a man among us, and he named him 'Muhammad'. At this his people said to him: "We will not let you name him after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So the man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), carrying his son on his back, and said: "O Messenger of Allah! A son was born to me and I named him 'Muhammad', but my people have told me that they will not let me name him after you." At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Name (your children) with my name, but do not take my kunyah, for I am only a distributor (Qasim); I distribute among you."
