أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ هَانِئٍ

أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ سَمِعَهُ وَهُمْ يُكَنُّونَ هَانِئًا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ «إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ فَلِمَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ؟» قَالَ إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَضِيَ كِلَا الْفَرِيقَيْنِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ؟» قَالَ لِي شُرَيْحٌ وَعَبْدَ اللهِ وَمُسْلِمٌ قَالَ «مَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ؟» قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ وَدَعَا لَهُ وَلِوَلَدِهِ

✧ That when he came as a delegate to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his people, he heard them giving Hani' the kunya Abu al-Hakam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said to him, "Allah is the Judge, and to Him belongs judgment. So why are you called Abu al-Hakam?" He said, "When my people disagree about something, they come to me and I judge between them, and both parties are satisfied." He said, "How good this is! What children do you have?" He said, "I have Shurayh, 'Abdullah, and Muslim." He said, "Who is the eldest of them?" He said, "Shurayh." He said, "Then you are Abu Shurayh." And he supplicated for him and his children.
