حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلاَمٌ فَسَمَّاهُ الْقَاسِمَ فَقَالُوا لاَ نَكْنِيهِ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي ".
Narrated Jabi: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
Jabir bataate hain: Hamare beech ek aadmi ke ghar ek ladka paida hua jiska naam usne Al-Qasim rakha. Logon ne kaha, 'Hum aapko is Kuniya (Abu-l-Qasim) se tab tak nahi pukaarenge jab tak hum Nabi (SAW) se ispar na poochh lein.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Apne naam mera naam rakho, magar apni Kuniya mujhse mat rakho.'
