4962. It was narrated that 'Āmir said: Jubairah bin Aḍ-Ḍahhāk said: "This Verse – 'Nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one's brother after having faith[1] – was revealed concerning us, Banū Salamah. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to us, and there was no man among us who did not have two or three names. Every time the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ started to say: 'O so-and-so,' they would say: 'Don't say that, O Messenger of Allāh, for he gets angry with this name.' Then this Verse was revealed: 'Nor insult one another by nicknames...'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4962 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَبِيرَةَ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ، قَالَ: فِينَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ { وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ} [الحجرات: 11] قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَلَهُ اسْمَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «يَا فُلَانُ» فَيَقُولُونَ: مَهْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْ هَذَا الِاسْمِ، فَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات: 11]
