6206. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most perfidious (awful) name with Allāh," Sufyān said more than once, "The most perfidious (awful) name with Allāh is (that of) a man calling himself king of kings." Sufyān said, "Somebody else (i.e., other than Abuz-Zinād, a subnarrator) says: What is meant by 'The king of kings' is 'Shāhān Shāh'.(1)

6206 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، - رِوَايَةً - قَالَ: «أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ» - وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ: غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ -: «أَخْنَعُ الأَسْمَاءِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى بِمَلِكِ الأَمْلاَكِ» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: " يَقُولُ غَيْرُهُ: تَفْسِيرُهُ شَاهَانْ شَاهْ "
