حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ أَخْنَعُ اسْمٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ تَسَمَّى مَلِكَ الأَمْلاَكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَخْنَى اسْمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

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 Shu’aib b. 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).
