The answer

Allah the Almighty forbids calling the Messenger by his mere name or his mere kunya, such as saying "O Abul-Qasim." Rather, he must be honored by addressing him as "O Messenger of Allah" or "O Prophet of Allah" in a low voice and with reverence, as Allah commanded in the verses: "Make not the calling of the Messenger among you as your calling one another" and "Indeed, those who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of Allah - those are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for righteousness. For them is forgiveness and a great reward."
