"عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا ولُدَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ عَقَّ عَنْهُ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ بِكَبْشٍ، وَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا الْحَارِثِ! مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُسَمِّيهِ مُحَمَّدًا؟ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّهِ بِاسْم آبَائِهِ؟ قَالَ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ الله فِى السَّمَاءِ، وَيَحْمَدَهُ النَّاسُ فِى الأَرْضِ".

"From Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: When the Prophet ﷺ was born, ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib sacrificed a ram on his behalf (ʿaqīqah) and named him Muḥammad. It was said to him: O Abū al-Ḥārith! What led you to name him Muḥammad, and not name him with one of the names of his forefathers? He said: I wanted God to praise him in the heavens, and people to praise him on the earth.".
