حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ
قَالَ: وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّاهُ: الْقَاسِمَ، فَقُلْنَا: لَا نُكَنِّيكَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ وَلَا كَرَامَةَ، فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: سَمِّ ابْنَكَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ
“A man had a child and named him al-Qasim. We said, ‘We will not give you the kunya Abul-Qasim nor will we so honour you. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was told and said, ‘Call your son Abdur-Rahman.’’”
