The prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: The vilest names in Allah’s sight on the Day of resurrection will be that of a man called Malik al-Amlak. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Shuaib bin Abi Hamzah from Abi al-Zinad through different chain of narrators. This version has the words akhna' ismin (most obscene name) instead of akhna ismin (the vilest name).
