باب فِي تَغْيِيرِ الاِسْمِ الْقَبِيحِ

English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Abu Hurairah reported the prophet ﷺ as saying: The vilest names in Allah’s sight on the Day of resurrection will be that of a man called Malik al-Amlak. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Shuaib bin Abi Hamzah from Abi al-Zinad through different chain of narrators. This version has the words "akhna' ismin" (most obscene name) instead of "akhna ismin" (the vilest name).

أَخْنَعُ : اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى مَلِكَ الْأَمْلَاكِ
