حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رِوَايَةً قَالَ أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ أَخْنَعُ الْأَسْمَائِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّی بِمَلِکِ الْأَمْلَاکِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَقُولُ غَيْرُهُ تَفْسِيرُهُ شَاهَانْ شَاهْ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6206
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The most awful (meanest) name in Allah's sight." Sufyan said more than once, "The most awful (meanest) name in Allah's sight is (that of) a man calling himself king of kings." Sufyan said, "Somebody else (i.e. other than Abu Az-Zinad, a sub-narrator) says: What is meant by 'The king of kings' is 'Shahan Shah.,"
