and told him what the Ansar had said. The Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'The Ansar did well. Call yourselves with my
name but do not use my kunya. I am Qasim (the divider)."

Having a kunya before having a child
'Abdullah gave 'Alqama the kunya Abu Shibl when he had no children.
'A'isha said, "I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, you give your wives kunyas, so
give me a kunya.' He said, 'Take the kunya of your nephew, 'Abdullah.'"
'A'isha said, "Prophet of Allah, will you not give me a kunya?"
He said, "Use the kunya of your son," i.e. 'Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr. She
was given the kunya Umm 'Abdullah.
Someone who gives a man of kunya because of something he is doing or with one of their names
Sahl ibn Sa'd related that the name which 'Ali, may Allah be pleased
with him, liked best was Abu Turab and that he was happy when he was called
that. Only the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called
him that. One day 'Ali was cross with Fatima and went out and reclined
against the wall of the mosque. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, came to look for him and was told that he was leaning against
the wall. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went up
to him and found that his back was covered with dust. The Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, began to wipe the dust off his back
and said, 'Sit down Abu Turab (father of dust)!'"
