[5610] 20 - (2134) It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The vilest of names before Allāh is that of a man who is called Malik Al-Amlâk.” Ibn Abî Shaibah added in his report: “There is no King but Allâh, Glorified and Exalted is He.” Al-Ashja’î said: Sufyân said: “It is like Shahin-shah (a Persian title signifying “king of kings”).”

20 - (2143) حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَحْمَدَ قَالَ الْأَشْعَثِيُّ: أَخْبَرَنَا وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَخْنَعَ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللهِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى مَلِكَ الْأَمْلَاكِ» زَادَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ «لَا مَالِكَ إِلَّا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ» قَالَ الْأَشْعَثِيُّ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: «مِثْلُ شَاهَانْ شَاهْ»، وقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَخْنَعَ؟ فَقَالَ: «أَوْضَعَ»
