حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي هَانِئُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ
أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ فَسَمِعَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُمْ يُكَنُّونَهُ بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ فَلِمَ تَكَنَّيْتَ بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ؟ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَضِيَ كِلاَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ قَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ؟ قُلْتُ لِي شُرَيْحٌ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ وَمُسْلِمٌ بَنُو هَانِئٍ قَالَ فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ؟ قُلْتُ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ وَدَعَا لَهُ وَوَلَدِهِ
Translation
✧ When he came to the Prophet ﷺ with his people, the Prophet ﷺ heard them giving him the kunya Abu'l-Hakam. The Prophet ﷺ called him and said, "Allah is the Judge (al-Hakam), and to Him belongs judgment. So why have you taken the kunya Abu'l-Hakam?" He said, "No, but my people, when they disagree about something, come to me and I judge between them, and both parties are satisfied." He said, "How excellent this is!" Then he said, "What children do you have?" I said, "I have Shurayh, ʿAbdullah, and Muslim, the sons of Hani'." He said, "Who is the eldest of them?" I said, "Shurayh." He said, "Then you are Abu Shurayh." And he supplicated for him and his children.
