Jabir bin Abdullah reported,

A boy was born to one of our men, and he named him Qasim. We said, "We will not give you the kunya of his name until we ask the Prophet ﷺ."We mentioned this to him, and he said, "Take my name, but do not take my kunya, for I was sent only as a distributor among you."

Ahmad 14249

Sahih

حدثنا هشيم عن حصين عن سالم بن أبي الجعد

عن جابر بن عبد الله قال

ولد لرجل منا غلام فسماه القاسم فقلنا لا نكنيك به حتى نسأل النبي ﷺ فذكرنا له فقال تسموا باسمي ولا تكتنوا بكنيتي فإنما بعثت قاسما بينكم
