حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رِوَايَةً قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ـ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ أَخْنَعُ الأَسْمَاءِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ـ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى بِمَلِكِ الأَمْلاَكِ ‏"‏. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَقُولُ غَيْرُهُ تَفْسِيرُهُ شَاهَانْ شَاهْ.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে বর্ণনা করেন যে, তিনি বলেছেনঃ আল্লাহ তা‘আলার নিকট সবচেয়ে খারাপ নামধারী অথবা বলেছেন, সব নামের মধ্যে ঘৃণিত নাম হলো সে ব্যক্তির,যে ‘রাজাদের রাজা’ নাম গ্রহণ করেছে। সুফ্ইয়ান বলেন যে, অন্যেরা এর ব্যাখ্যা করেছেন, ‘শাহান শাহ’। [৬২০৫; মুসলিম ৩৮/৪, হাঃ ২১৪৩, আহমাদ ৭৩৩৩] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৫৭৬৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
