حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْحَجَبِيُّ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ جَائَتْ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ وَلَدْتُ غُلَامًا فَسَمَّيْتُهُ مُحَمَّدًا وَکَنَّيْتُهُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَذُکِرَ لِي أَنَّکَ تَکْرَهُ ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي أَحَلَّ اسْمِي وَحَرَّمَ کُنْيَتِي أَوْ مَا الَّذِي حَرَّمَ کُنْيَتِي وَأَحَلَّ اسْمِي
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4968
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! I have given birth to a boy, and call him Muhammad and Abul Qasim as kunyah (surname), but I have been told that you disapproved of that. He replied: What is it which has made my name lawful and my kunyah unlawful, or what is it which has made my kunyah unlawful and my name lawful?
