3741. It was narrated that Abu Jabirah bin Dahhāk said: (Allāh's saying) "Nor insult one another by nicknames."[1] was revealed concerning us, the Ansār. When the Prophet ﷺ came to us, a man among us would have two or three names, and the Prophet ﷺ might call him by one of those names, only to be told: "O Messenger of Allāh, he does not like that name." Then: "Nor insult one another by nicknames." was revealed." (Sahih)
