English translation

5389. It was narrated from Shuraih bin Hâni' from his father, that when he came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he heard them calling Hânî' by the nickname of Abû Al-Ḥakam, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called him and said to him: "Allāh is Al-Ḥakam (the Judge) and judgment is His. Why are you known as Abû Al-Ḥakam?" He said: "If my people differ concerning something, they come to me, and I pass judgment among them, and both sides accept it." He said: "How good this is. Do you have any children?" He said: "I have Shuraih, and 'Abdullāh, and Muslim." He said: "Who is the eldest of them?" He said: "Shuraih." He said: "Then you are Abû Shuraih," and he supplicated for him and his son. (Hasan)

5387 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ هَانِئٍ، أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَهُ وَهُمْ يَكْنُونَ هَانِئًا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ، فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ، فَلِمَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ؟» فَقَالَ: إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَرَضِيَ كِلَا الْفَرِيقَيْنِ، قَالَ: «مَا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا، فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوُلْدِ؟» قَالَ: لِي شُرَيْحٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ، وَمُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ: «فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ؟» قَالَ: شُرَيْحٌ، قَالَ: «فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ» فَدَعَا لَهُ وَلِوَلَدِهِ
