Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there an authentic hadith meaning that no one named Muhammad will be punished, as a favor to the name and its bearer?

Answer:
This is among the superstitions. This is among the superstitions. The name does not avail anything. One must have deeds. One must have deeds and following [the Prophet]. This is like the saying of al-Busiri: “Indeed, I have a pledge from him by the naming of Muhammad, and he is the most faithful of creation in keeping pledges.” This is a superstition and false. Yes, the name is not sufficient. Yes.
