What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever is named Muhammad, do not strike him”?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our brother says: He read a hadith and is asking about its authenticity: “Whoever is named Muhammad, do not strike him and do not insult him”?
Answer: This is a lie, a fabrication, a lie attributed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no basis for this. Likewise, whoever says: All of this is false. Everything said in these matters, such as that whoever is named Muhammad will have such and such in his house, all these things have no foundation. The criterion is following Muhammad, not the name Muhammad. How many Muhammads are there who are wicked and in whom there is no good, because he did not follow Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and did not submit to his Shari'ah? Names do not purify people; rather, their righteous deeds and their mindfulness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) purify them. If a person takes the name Muhammad, or Ahmad, or al-Qasim, or Abu al-Qasim, and he is a sinner, this name does not benefit him. Rather, it is obligatory for the servant to fear Allah, to act in obedience to Allah, and to adhere to the Shari'ah of Allah with which He sent His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the path of salvation and safety. As for mere names, neither salvation nor punishment is attached to them. Yes.
