Sunan Abi Dawud 4965 (Book 43, Hadith 193) #25256
Using the Name of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: This hadith is about using the name of the Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) but not his surname.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying: Call yourselves by my name, but do not use my KUNYAH (surname). Abu Dawud said : Abu Salih has transmitted it in a similar way from Abu Hurairah, and similar are the traditions of Abu Sufyan from Jabir, of Salim b. Abl al-Ja’d from Jabir, of Sulaiman al-Yashkuri from Jabir, and of Ibn al-Munkadir from Jabir and similar others and Anas b. Malik.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَكَذَلِكَ رِوَايَةُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَسَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَسُلَيْمَانَ الْيَشْكُرِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ نَحْوَهُمْ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Call ourselves by the name of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith was narrated by several companions of Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him). It teaches us that we should call ourselves by the name of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but not use his Kunyah or surname. The Kunyah is a nickname given to a person based on their firstborn child or place of origin and it was used as an honorific title in pre-Islamic Arabia. Therefore this hadith encourages us to take pride in our Islamic identity and remember our beloved prophet through our names without using any titles that were used before Islam came into existence.
