English Translation

Husayn narrated to us, Jarir narrated to us, from Muhammad, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), from the Prophet ﷺ who used to say: 'Name yourselves with my name, but do not use my kunyah (Abu al-Qasim). And whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for the Shaytan does not appear in my form. And whoever lies about me deliberately, let him take his seat in the Hellfire.'
