حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عِقَالٍ أَبُو الْفَوَارِسِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحَجَبِيُّ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ:
جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ، فَسَمَّيْتُهُ مُحَمَّدًا، وَكَنَّيْتُهُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّكَ تَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: مَا الَّذِي أَحَلَّ اسْمِي وَحَرَّمَ كُنْيَتِي ؟ وَمَا الَّذِي حَرَّمَ كُنْيَتِي وَأَحَلَّ اسْمِي
