حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَکَ وَتَعَالَی يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّی مَلِکَ الْأَمْلَاکِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَاهُ شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ أَخْنَی اسْمٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4961
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).
