حديث جَابِرٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: وُلِدَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا غُلَامٌ، فَسَمَّاهُ الْقَاسِمَ، فَقُلْنَا: لَا نَكْنِيكَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، وَلَا كَرَامَةَ فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: سَمِّ ابْنَكَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمنِ.
Jâbir Narrated from:
A boy was born for a man among us and the man named him Al-Qâsim. We said to him, "We will not call you Abul-Qâsim, nor will we respect you for that." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was informed about that, and he said, "Name your son 'Abdur Rahmân." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 205, Vol. 8)
