باب تحريم قول شاهنشاه للسلطان وغيره لأن معناه ملك الملوك، ولا يوصف بذلك غير الله سبحانه وتعالى Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The most disgraceful man near Allah is a man who calls himself (or likes others to call him) Malikul-Amlak (i.e., king of kings)." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن أخنع اسم عند الله عز وجل رجل تسمى ملك الأملاك‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ قال سُفيانُ بن عُيَيْنَةَ: «مَلِكُ الأَمْلاَكِ» مِثْلُ: شَاهِن شَاهِ.
