حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ عَمْرٌو حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُنْکَدِرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُا وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّاهُ الْقَاسِمَ فَقُلْنَا لَا نَکْنِيکَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ وَلَا نُنْعِمُکَ عَيْنًا فَأَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ ذَلِکَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَسْمِ ابْنَکَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5595
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: A child was born in the house of a person amongst us, and he gave him the name of Qasim. We said: We will not allow you (to give the name) to your child as Qasim (and thus adopt the kunya of Abu'l-Qasim) and coal your eyes. He (that person) came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and made a mention of that to him, whereupon he said: Call your son 'Abd al-Rahman.
