ʿUmayr; others say Ṣāliḥ; yet others Mihrān. He was also called Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, and some said Abū al-Bukhtarī.
Section Eight – Those who are known by both their personal name and their kunya
Among them are the “Fathers of ʿAbd Allah” who founded the legal schools: Sufyān al-Thawrī, Mālik, Muḥammad ibn Idrīs al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, and others.
Section Nine – Those who are famous by both their name and their kunya, even though their personal name is already well known
An example is Abū Idrīs al-Khawlānī, ʿĀʾidh Allah—may Allah be pleased with them all. Allah knows best.
Section Fifty-One
Knowing the kunyas of those who are primarily known by their given names
The usual practice here is to arrange the entries under their personal names. Thus, among the Companions who bore the kunya Abū Muḥammad are: Ṭalḥah, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf, al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī, Thābit ibn Qays, Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah, al-Ashʿath ibn Qays, ʿAbd Allah ibn Jaʿfar, Ibn ʿAmr, Ibn Buḥaynah, and others.
Those known as Abū ʿAbd Allah include: al-Zubayr, al-Ḥusayn, Salmān, Ḥudhayfah, ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, and others.
As for the kunya Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, it was borne by Ibn Masʿūd, Muʿādh ibn Jabal, Zayd ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, Ibn ʿUmar, Muʿāwiyah ibn Abī Sufyān, and others, though there is some disagreement concerning a few of them. Allah knows best.
