Calling Yaqub (alaihis salaam) Israeel

Q: I need a reference from the Ahaadeeth where people say Hazrat Yaqub (alaihis salaam) was Israeel, while Quraan mentioned his name, Yaqub 16 times, and also his progeny (2:132-133, 2:136, 2:140, 3:84, 4:163 etc.)

The reason for asking this question is that I got reference from the Book of Genesis, Chapter 32: 22-32, where Hazrat Yaqub (alaihis salaam) fought with Allah Ta'ala and overpowered Him. Then Allah Ta'ala blessed him. God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israeel."
