Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1456 — he said: A man among us would have two
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ قَالَ : نَا بَدَلُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ قَالَ : نَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ . عَنْ أَبِي جَبِيرَةَ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ : كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا يَكُونُ لَهُ الِاسْمَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ ، فَكَانَ يُدْعَى بِبَعْضِهَا ، فَعَسَى أَنْ يَكْرَهَ ذَلِكَ فَنَزَلَتْ : وَلا تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ إِلَّا بَدَلٌ ، وَأَبُو زَيْدٍ الْهَرَوِيُّ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Jabirah bin al-Dahhak (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "A man among us would have two or three names, and he would be called by one of them, and it might be that he disliked that. So this blessed verse was revealed: 'And do not insult one another with nicknames.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Imam Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Badal and Abu Zayd al-Harawi (may Allah have mercy on them both)."
