Hadith of al-Dahhak bin Abi Jabirah
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6853 — In the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), people
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ - وَنُسْخَتُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ أَبِي جَبِيرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَتْ لَهُمْ أَلْقَابٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، «فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلًا بِلَقَبِهِ» فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ يَكْرَهُهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات: 11] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Dahhak bin Abi Jabirah (may Allah be pleased with him): "In the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), people used to have (various) nicknames. Once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called a man by one of his nicknames, and it was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, he dislikes this nickname. Upon this Allah Almighty revealed this blessed verse: And do not call one another by (offensive) nicknames (Surah al-Hujurat: 11), to the end of the verse."
