حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُنْذِرٌ، وَهُوَ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ وُلِدَ لِي بَعْدَكَ أُسَمِّيهِ مُحَمَّدًا وَأُكْنِيهِ بِكُنْيَتِكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً لِي ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏
