Arabic text

3731 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: لَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْأَجْدَعِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الْأَجْدَعُ شَيْطَانٌ»

Commentary

The linguistic meaning of Ajda' is the one whose nose is cut off, this expression is used in Arabic for disgrace and humiliation, while being deprived of other organs (such as a lame) is free from such confusion, so it is better to avoid such names.
