Chapter 1
النَّهْىِ عَنِ التَّكَنِّي، بِأَبِي الْقَاسِمِ وَبَيَانِ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ مِنَ الأَسْمَاءِ .
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.”
Ibrahim ibn Ziyad, nicknamed Sablān, narrated to me: Abbad ibn Abbad informed us from Ubayd Allah ibn Umar and his brother Abd Allah—I heard it from both of them in the year 144 AH—as they related from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The names most beloved to Allah are Abd Allah and Abd al-Rahman.”

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba, Amr al-Naqid, Zuhayr ibn Harb, and Ibn Numayr narrated to us. They said: Sufyan ibn Uyayna narrated to us from Ayyub, from Muhammad ibn Sirin, who said: I heard Abu Hurayra say: Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Name yourselves with my name, but do not use my kunya.” Amr said: “From Abu Hurayra,” without saying “I heard.”
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba, Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Numayr, Abu Said al-Ashajj, and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna al-Anazi narrated to us; this wording is transmitted by Ibn Numayr. They said: Ibn Idris narrated to us from his father, from Simak ibn Harb, from Alqama ibn Wail, from al-Mughira ibn Shuba, who said: When I came to Najran, they asked me about your recitation of the words “O sister of Aaron,” although Moses came before Jesus by such-and-such. When I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I asked him about that. He said: “They used to name people after their prophets and righteous people who came before them.”

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abi Khalaf narrated to us: Rawh narrated to us: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us: Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Jabir ibn Abd Allah say: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to forbid naming people Ya la, Baraka, Aflah, Yasar, Nafi, and similar names. Then I saw that he stopped speaking about them and said nothing. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then passed away without forbidding that. Umar later intended to forbid it, then abandoned the idea.
Chapter 3
بَاب اسْتِحْبَابِ تَغْيِيرِ الِاسْمِ الْقَبِيحِ إِلَى حَسَنٍ وَتَغْيِيرِ اسْمِ بَرَّةَ إِلَى زَيْنَبَ وَجُوَيْرِيَةَ وَنَحْوِهِمَا
