Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.
