Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وُلِدَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَهُ مُحَمَّدًا فَكَأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوهُ فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ فَأَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلَا تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, from Mansur, from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, that a man from the Helpers had a boy born to him and wanted to name him Muhammad. It seemed they disliked this, so he carried him on his shoulder and brought him to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Name yourselves after me, but do not take my kunyah as your own.
