English Translation

Jabir said: A boy was born to a man of the Ansar, and he named him Muhammad. The Ansar said: 'We will not call you by the kunya of the Messenger of Allah!' So we sat on the road to ask the Prophet about the Hour. He said: 'Have you come to ask me about the Hour?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'There is no living soul today that will still be alive in a hundred years.' We said: 'A boy was born to a man of the Ansar and he named him Muhammad, but the Ansar said we will not give you the kunya of the Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'The Ansar have done well. Name yourselves with my name, but do not use my kunya.'
