حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ شُرَيْحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ هَانِئٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ سَمِعَهُمْ يَكْنُونَهُ بابي الْحَكَمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلِمَ تُكْنَىبابا الْحَكَمِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَضِيَ كِلَا الْفَرِيقَيْنِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ ؟،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لِي شُرَيْحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُسْلِمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ شُرَيْحٌ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ شُرَيْحٌ هَذَا:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ الَّذِي كَسَرَ السِّلْسِلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ مِمَّنْ دَخَلَ تُسْتَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ شُرَيْحًا كَسَرَ باب تُسْتَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَلِك أَنْهُ دَخَلَ مِنْ سِرْبٍ.

When Hani went with his people in a deputation to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, he heard them calling him by his kunyah (surname), Abul Hakam. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم called him and said: Allah is the judge (al-Hakam), and to Him judgment belongs. Why are you given the kunyah AbulHakam? He replied: When my people disagree about a matter, they come to me, and I decide between them, and both parties are satisfied with my decision. He said: How good this is! What children have you? He replied: I have Shurayh, Muslim and Abdullah. He asked; Who is the oldest of them? I replied: Shurayh. He said: Then you are Abu Shurayh. Abu Dawud said: This is Shuraib who broke the chain, and who entered Tustar. Abu Dawud said: I have been told that Shuraib broke the gate of Tustar, and he entered it through tunnel.
