كتاب المناقب

(20) Chapter: The Kunya of the Prophet (saws)

باب كُنْيَةِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

Narrated Anas:

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.”

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ‏.‏ فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ “‏ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي ‏”‏‏.‏
