The answer

The saying that people will be called on the Day of Resurrection by their mothers' names is incorrect. The correct view, as indicated by sound and explicit , is that they will be called by their fathers' names. The proof for this is the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, for every betrayer, a banner will be raised on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said: 'This is the betrayal of so-and-so, son of so-and-so.'" And his (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your fathers' names, so make your names good." As for the , "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so," it is weak. And as for some people's interpretation of the verse: "On the Day We shall call every people with their Imam" (17:71) to support this weak saying, it is one of the Bid'ah (innovations) in interpretations.
