Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28999

Qutaibah narrated to us, Al-Layth narrated to us, on the authority of Ibn Ajlan, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, forbade anyone to combine his name with His nickname is, and he is called Muhammad Abul-Qasim. On the authority of Jabir, Abu Issa said: This is a good and authentic hadith. He disliked it. Some people of knowledge said that a man should combine the name of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with his nickname, and some of them did that. It was narrated on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he heard A man was in the market calling, “O Abu Al-Qasim.” The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, turned and said, “I did not help you.” So the Prophet said May God’s prayers and peace be upon him: “Do not conceal my nickname.” Al-Hasan bin Ali Al-Khalal told us about that. Yazid bin Harun told us on the authority of Humaid, on the authority of Anas. On the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. And in this hadith there is evidence of his dislike of being called Abu al-Qasim.
