´Narrated Abu Jubairah bin Ad-Dahhak:` "A man among us would be known by two or three names. He would be called by one that perhaps he disliked, so this Ayah was revealed: Nor insult with nicknames (49:11)."
With this chain, Dawud narrated from Sha’bi, and Sha’bi from Abu Jubairah bin Dihhak in the same manner. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is Hasan Sahih.
