Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ - قَالَ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ، ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا وَاللَّفْظُ، لَهُ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، - يَعْنِيَانِ الْفَزَارِيَّ - عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ نَادَى رَجُلٌ رَجُلاً بِالْبَقِيعِ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ‏.‏ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْنِكَ إِنَّمَا دَعَوْتُ فُلاَنًا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Kurayb, Muhammad ibn al-Ala, and Ibn Abi Umar narrated to me. Abu Kurayb said: He informed us; Ibn Abi Umar said: He narrated to us—the wording is his. They both said: Marwan, meaning al-Fazari, narrated to us from Humayd, from Anas, who said: A man called to another man in al-Baqi: “Abu al-Qasim!” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned toward him. The man said: “Messenger of Allah, I did not mean you; I was only calling so-and-so.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Use my name, but do not use my kunya.”
