Hadith 6206

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، رِوَايَةً قَالَ : " أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ، وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ : أَخْنَعُ الْأَسْمَاءِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى بِمَلِكِ الْأَمْلَاكِ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : يَقُولُ غَيْرُهُ تَفْسِيرُهُ شَاهَانْ شَاهْ " .
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.,"
