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)

Arabic text

3741 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي جَبِيرَةَ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ: «فِينَا نَزَلَتْ مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ» : {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات: 11] ، " قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَهُ الِاسْمَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ، فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُبَّمَا دَعَاهُمْ بِبَعْضِ تِلْكَ الْأَسْمَاءِ فَيُقَالُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْ هَذَا "، فَنَزَلَتْ: {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات: 11] "
