A man amongst us begot a boy whom he named Al-Qasim. On that the Ansar said, (to the man),
“We will never call you Abu-al-Qasim and will never please you with this blessed title.” So, he went
to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have begotten a boy whom I named Al-Qasim and the
Ansar said, ‘We will never call you Abu-al-Qasim, nor will we please you with this title.’ ” The
Prophet said, “The Ansar have done well. Name by my name, but do not name by my Kunya, for I am
Qasim.”
