حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ تَسَمَّی بِاسْمِي فَلَا يَتَکَنَّی بِکُنْيَتِي وَمَنْ تَکَنَّی بِکُنْيَتِي فَلَا يَتَسَمَّی بِاسْمِي قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَرَوَی بِهَذَا الْمَعْنَی ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مُخْتَلِفًا عَلَی الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ وَکَذَلِکَ رِوَايَةُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَلَی مَا قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ وَرَوَاهُ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَی مَا قَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ وَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ عَلَی مُوسَی بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَيْضًا عَلَی الْقَوْلَيْنِ اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْکٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4966
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: 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 Abdur-Rahman bin 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 Maqil bin Ubaid Allah transmitted it according to the version of Ibn Sirin. It is again dispted on Musa bin Yasar from Abu Hurariah, transmitting it in two versions: Hammad bin Khalid and Ibn Abi Fudaik varied in their versions.
