Jabir said, "One of our men had a son and named him al-Qasim. The
Ansar said, "We will not give you the kunya of Abu'l-Qasim to make you
happy.' He went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
and told him what the Ansar had said. The Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'The Ansar did well. Call yourselves with my
name but do not use my kunya. I am Qasim (the divider)."

I name him with your name and use your kunya?' Yes,' he replied."

and grant him peace, forbade for someone to have both his name and his

Sahl ibn Sa'd related that the name which 'Ali, may Allah be pleased
with him, liked best was Abu Turab and that he was happy when he was called
that. Only the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called
him that. One day 'Ali was cross with Fatima and went out and reclined
against the wall of the mosque. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, came to look for him and was told that he was leaning against
the wall. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went up

and said, 'Sit down Abu Turab (father of dust)!'"

peace, was in one of our palm groves where the trees belonged to Abu Talha,

him to walk at his side. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, passed by a grave and stood there until Bilal reached him. he said,
'Woe to you, Bilal. Did you hear what I heard?' He replied, 'I did not
hear anything.' He said, 'The man in the grave is being punished.' He found
that it was a Jew."
