Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that a child was born to a person amongst us and he gave him the name of Muhammad. Thereupon his people said:
We will not allow You to give the name of Muhammad (to your child) after the name of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He set forth with his son carrying him on his back and came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and said: Allah's Messenger a son has been born to me and I have given him the name after the name of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Give him my name but do not give him my kunya, for I am Qasim in the sense that I distribute (the spoils of war) and the dues of Zakat amongst you.
