A man amongst us begot a boy whom he named Al-Qasim. On that the Ansar said, (to the man), "We will never call you Abu-al-Qasim and will never please you with this blessed title." So, he went to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have begotten a boy whom I named Al-Qasim and the Ansar said, 'We will never call you Abu-al-Qasim, nor will we please you with this title.' " The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Ansar have done well. Name by my name, but do not name by my Kunya, for I am Qasim."

وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ الْقَاسِمَ فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ لاَ نَكْنِيكَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ وَلاَ نُنْعِمُكَ عَيْنًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وُلِدَ لِي غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ الْقَاسِمَ فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ لاَ نَكْنِيكَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ وَلاَ نُنْعِمُكَ عَيْنًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَتِ الأَنْصَارُ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ

A man among us begot a boy whom he named Al-Qasim. The people said, "We will not call him (i.e., the father) by that Kuniya (Abu-l-Qasim) till we ask the Prophet ﷺ about it. The Prophet ﷺ said. "Name yourselves by my name, but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya."

وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ الْقَاسِمَ فَقَالُوا لاَ نَكْنِيهِ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya (1), for I am Al-Qasim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allah's blessings." This narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the ! Prophet said so."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَرَوَاهُ أَنَسٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

We will not allow You to give the name of Muhammad (to your child) after the name of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He set forth with his son carrying him on his back and came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and said: Messenger of Allah a son has been born to me and I have given him the name after the name of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whereupon Messenger of Allah 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.

وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لاَ نَدَعُكَ تُسَمِّي بِاسْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقَ بِابْنِهِ حَامِلَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وُلِدَ لِي غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَقَالَ لِي قَوْمِي لاَ نَدَعُكَ تُسَمِّي بِاسْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ

We will not allow you to give the name after the name of Messenger of Allah ﷺ until you ask him (the Holy Prophet). So he (that person) came and said (to the Holy Prophet): A child was born in my house and I wanted to give him the name (of Muhammad) after the name of Messenger of Allah, whereas my people did not allow me that I should name him after that (sacred) name until I have asked Allah's Apostle ﷺ in this connection, whereupon he said: Give him the name after my name, but do not call him by my kunya, for I have been sent as a Qasim as I distribute amongst you.

وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَقُلْنَا لاَ نَكْنِيكَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرَهُ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ لِي غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّ قَوْمِي أَبَوْا أَنْ يَكْنُونِي بِهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْذِنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ قَاسِمًا أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ

The Ansar have done well to give the name (to your children) after my name, but do not give them the kunya after my kunya.

أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وُلِدَ لَهُ غُلاَمٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنَتِ الأَنْصَارُ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي

The Ansar have done well to give the name (to your children) after my name, but do not give them the kunya after my kunya. (Using translation from Muslim 2133f)

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وُلِدَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا 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. (Using translation from Muslim 2133d)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ

[AI] A boy was born to one of us, and his father named him Al-Qasim. We said, "We won't offer congratulations until we ask the Prophet ﷺ ." So, we mentioned it to him, and he said, "Name him after me, but do not call him by my nickname, for I have been sent as a distributer (Qasim) among you."

وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّاهُ الْقَاسِمَ فَقُلْنَا لَا نُكَنِّيكَ بِهِ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ فَقَالَ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ قَاسِمًا بَيْنَكُمْ

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. (Using translation from Muslim 2133d)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنِّي جُعِلْتُ قَاسِمًا أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ

[AI] A man from the Ansar had a son and he wanted to name him Muhammad. However, it seemed that they disliked it. So, he carried him on his shoulder and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Name yourselves after me, but do not use my kunya."

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وُلِدَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَكَأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوهُ فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ فَأَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي

[AI] A boy was born to one of us, and his father named him Muhammad. We said, "We will not allow you to name him Muhammad, the name of the Prophet ﷺ." So, the man brought his son to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed, a boy was born to me and I named him after you. But my people refuse to call me by my name." He said, "Yes, they should call him by my name and not use my kunya (honorific nickname) because I am the one who distributes among you."

وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَقُلْنَا لَا نَدَعُكَ تُسَمِّيهِ مُحَمَّدًا بِاسْمِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ بِابْنِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ وَإِنِّي سَمَّيْتُهُ بِاسْمِكَ فَأَبَى قَوْمِي أَنْ يَدْعُونِي قَالَ بَلَى سَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنِّي قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ

[AI] "To name him Muhammad and they came with him the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and he said, "The Ansar have done well to name themselves after me and not use my nickname, for I was sent as a distributor [of inheritance] among you."

أَنْ يُسَمُّوهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَأَتَوْا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَحْسَنَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ قَاسِمًا أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ»

"أحسنتِ الأنصارُ، تسمَّوْا باسمى؛ ولا تكنوْا بكُنْيَتى، فإنما بُعِثْت قاسمًا أقسم بينكُمْ".

"سَمُّوا باسْمِى وَلَا تُكَنُّوا بكُنْيَتِى؛ فَإنَّى إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ قَاسِمًا أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ".
