Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Call yourselves by my name, but do not use my KUNYAH (surname). Abu Dawud said: Abu Salih has transmitted it in a similar way from Abu Hurairah, and similar are the traditions of Abu Sufyan from Jabir, of Salim bin Abl al-Ja’d from Jabir, of Sulaiman al-Yashkuri from Jabir, and of Ibn al-Munkadir from Jabir and similar others and Anas bin Malik.
