The answer

The statement that whoever is named Muhammad or any other prophetic name will attain the Prophet's intercession merely because of the name is incorrect, because the mere name does not benefit its owner if he is not a believer. For Musa (Moses), whom Jibreel (Gabriel) raised, was an unbeliever, while Musa, whom Pharaoh raised, was a Prophet.
