Jami at-Tirmidhi 2843 (Book 43, Hadith 117) #28487
Naming a Son After the Prophet's Kunyah

SUMMARY: It is permissible to name a son after the Prophet's Kunyah.

Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib: that he said: "O Messenger of Allah ! If I have a son after you do you think I could name him your Kunyah?" He said: "Yes". So he said: "So that was permitted for me".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُنْذِرٌ، وَهُوَ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ وُلِدَ لِي بَعْدَكَ أُسَمِّيهِ مُحَمَّدًا وَأُكْنِيهِ بِكُنْيَتِكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً لِي ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the permissibility of naming a son after the Prophet's kunyah. A kunya is an honorific title that is used to refer to someone in an affectionate way, usually by adding Abu or Umm before their name. In this hadith, Ali bin Abi Talib asked the Prophet if he could name his son after his kunya and was given permission to do so. This shows us that it is permissible for us to give our children names that are related to our beloved prophet and it also serves as a reminder of him in our lives. We can also use this hadith as an example of how we should ask permission from those who are more knowledgeable than us when we want to do something, even if it seems small or insignificant.
