4961. It was narrated from Sufyān bin 'Uyainah, from Abū Az-Zinnād, from Al-A'rāj, from Abū Hurairah, who conveyed it from the Prophet ﷺ; he said: "The most despised of names to Allāh, on the Day of Resurrection, will be a man who is called; Malik Al-Amlāk (king of kings)." (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: Shu'aib reported it from Abū Hamzah, from Abū Az-Zinnād, with his chain, and he said: "the most obscene name"

4961 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى مَلِكَ الْأَمْلَاكِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: أَخْنَى اسْمٍ
