A narration from Hazrat Jabir (رضی اللہ عنہ) states that the Prophet Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: "All the people of Paradise will be called by their own names, except for Hazrat Adam (علیہ السلام), who will be addressed by the title 'Abu Muhammad.' Additionally, the people in Paradise will be without beards, but Prophet Musa (علیہ السلام) will have a beard that reaches his navel."
