Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 18684 — he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ هَانِئِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمٍ، فَقَالَ: «لِمَ يُكَنِّيكَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَبَا الْحَكَمِ؟» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ قَوْمِي فِي الشَّيْءِ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَيَرْضَى هَؤُلَاءِ وهَؤُلَاءِ، فَكُنِّيتُ أَبَا الْحَكَمِ وَلَيْسَ لِي وَلَدٌ، فَأَنَا أَبُو الْحَكَمِ. قَالَ: «هَلْ لَكَ وَلَدٌ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: «مَا اسْمُ أَكْبَرِهِمْ؟» قَالَ: شُرَيْحٌ. قَالَ: «فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hani bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a delegation with some people of his tribe. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard them calling him by the kunyah Abu al-Hakam, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why do these people call you Abu al-Hakam?" He said: O Messenger of Allah, I used to judge between my people in whatever matter arose among them, and both parties would be satisfied. For this reason I came to be called Abu al-Hakam, although I have no son, and still I am called Abu al-Hakam. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you have children?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is the name of the eldest of them?" He said: Shurayh. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you are Abu Shurayh."
