Sahih al-Bukhari 6196 (Book 78, Hadith 220) #5949
Taking the Prophet's Name as an Example

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised his followers to take his name as an example, but not to use his Kuniya. He also said that he was a distributor of Allah's blessings.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari: Allah's Messenger said, "Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya (1), for I am Al-Qasim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allah's blessings". This narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the ! Prophet said so".
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَرَوَاهُ أَنَسٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏
