Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Name yourselves with my name, but do not use my kunya; I am Abu'l-Qasim."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تَسَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تُكَنُّوا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ

While the Prophet ﷺ was in the market, a man called (somebody), "O Abu-l-Qasim!' The Prophet ﷺ turned to him and said "Name yourselves after me but do not call yourselves by my Kuniya."
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Name yourselves after me, but do not call yourselves by my Kuniya."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي
Abu-l-Qasim said, "Name yourselves after me, but do not call yourselves by my Kuniya."
أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي
Abu-l-Qasim (The Prophet) said, "Name yourselves by my name, but do not call yourselves by my Kuniya."
أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي
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 but with a slight variation of wording.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا
"Abul Qasim ﷺ said: 'Call yourselves by my name but do not call yourselves by my Kunyah."
أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي
