"مَنْ تَسَمَّى باسْمِي فَلَا يَكْتَن بكُنْيتى، وَمَنِ اكْتَنَى بِكُنْيَتِى فَلَا يَتَسَمّى بِاسْمِى".
The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone is called by my name, he must not be given my kunyah (surname), and if anyone uses my kunyah (surname), he must not be called by my name. Abu Dawud said: Ibn 'Ajlan transmitted it to the same effect from his father on the authority if Abu Hurairah. It has also been transmitted by Abu Zar'ah from Abu Hurairah in two different versions. And similar is the version of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi 'Amrah from Abu Hurairah. This version is disputed: Al-Thawri and Ibn Juraij transmitted it according to the version of Abu al-Zubair; and Ma'qil b. 'Ubaid Allah transmitted it according to the version of Ibn Sirin. It is again dispted on Musa b. Yasar from Abu Hurariah, transmitting it in two versions: Hammad b. Khalid and Ibn Abi Fudaik varied in their versions.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ تَسَمَّى بِاسْمِي فَلاَ يَكْتَنِي بِكُنْيَتِي وَمَنْ تَكَنَّى بِكُنْيَتِي فَلاَ يَتَسَمَّى بِاسْمِي
"Call yourselves by my name but do not call yourselves by my Kunyah." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3736)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ تَسَمَّى بِاسْمِي فَلَا يَتَكَنَّى بِكُنْيَتِي وَمَنِ اكْتَنَى بِكُنْيَتِي فَلَا يَتَسَمَّى بِاسْمِي
[AI] "From the Prophet ﷺ that he used to say, 'Call yourselves by my name, and do not elevate yourselves by my title.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي
from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "˹You may˺ name yourselves with my name (use my name) but do not name yourselves with my Kunya name (i.e. Abul Qasim). And whoever sees me in a dream then surely he has seen me for Satan cannot impersonate me. And whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally), then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire." (Using translation from Bukhārī 110)

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is named after me, should not adopt my nickname. And whoever adopts my nickname, should not be named after me."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَسَمَّى بِاسْمِي فَلَايَتَكَنَّى بِكُنْيَتِي وَمَنْ تَكَنَّى بِكُنْيَتِي فَلَا يَتَسَمَّى بِاسْمِي
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

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِأَنَّ هَذَا الزَّجْرَ وَقَعَ عَلَى الْجَمْعِ بَيْنَهُمَا فِي شَخْصٍ وَاحِدٍ لَا انْفِرَادِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِيهِ
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you call me, do not use my name. And when you mention my name, do not be familiar with me."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا كَنَّيْتُمْ فَلَا تَسَمَّوْا بِي وَإِذَا سَمَّيْتُمْ بِي فَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِي» *
