When he came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he heard them calling Hani' by the nickname of Abu Al-Hakam, the Messenger of Allah [SAW] called him and said to him: "Allah is Al-Hakam (the Judge) and judgment is His. Why are you known as Abu Al-Hakam?" He said: "If my people differ concerning something, they come to me, and I pass judgment among them, and both sides accept it." He said: "How good this is. Do you have any children?" He said: "I have Shuraih, and 'Abdullah, and Muslim." He said: "Who is the eldest of them?" He said: "Shuraih." He said: "Then you are Abu Shuraih," and he supplicated for him and his son.  

أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعَهُ وَهُمْ يَكْنُونَ هَانِئًا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ فَلِمَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَىْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَضِيَ كِلاَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ قَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوُلْدِ قَالَ لِي شُرَيْحٌ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَمُسْلِمٌ قَالَ فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ فَدَعَا لَهُ وَلِوَلَدِهِ  

[Machine] He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ heard them referring to him as "Abu al-Hakam" (the father of wisdom). The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah is the Wisest. Why do you call him 'Abu al-Hakam'?" They replied, "Whenever my people have a dispute, I judge between them, and both parties are satisfied with my judgment." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you have children?" He replied, "Shurayh, Abdullah, Musli, sons of Hanif." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "Who among them is the oldest?" He replied, "Shurayh." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then you are Abu Shurayh," and he prayed for him and his children. "I have mentioned in the book of knowledge in the mention of the Makhzumites, Shurayh bin Hanif, who lived in the Jahiliyyah era and embraced Islam, but did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He belonged to the generation that followed." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about him in his summary.  

أَنَّهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُكَنُّونَهُ بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ لِمَ تُكَنَّى بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ؟» قَالَ إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا حَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَضِيَ الْفَرِيقَانِ قَالَ «هَلْ لَكَ وَلَدٌ؟» قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَمُسْلِمٌ بَنُو هَانِئٍ قَالَ «فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ؟» قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ فَدَعَا لَهُ وَلِوَلَدِهِ» «وَقَدْ ذَكَرْتُ فِي كِتَابِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ فِي ذِكْرِ الْمُخَضْرَمِينَ شُرَيْحَ بْنَ هَانِئٍ فَإِنَّهُ أَدْرَكَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةَ وَالْإِسْلَامَ وَلَمْ يَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَارَ عِدَادُهُ فِي التَّابِعِينَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "That Hane' came to the Messenger of Allahﷺ with his people and heard them calling him Hane' Abu Al-Hakam. So the Messenger of Allahﷺ called him and said, 'Indeed, Allah is the Judge and to Him belongs all judgment. So why do they call you Abu Al-Hakam?' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, when my people differ in something, they accept my judgment, and I judge between them.' So he said, 'That is good. What is your status in regard to having children?' He said, 'Shurayh, Abdullah, and Muslim.' He said, 'Which of them is the eldest?' He said, 'Shurayh.' He said, 'Then you are Abu Shurayh.' So the Messenger of Allahﷺ supplicated for him and his children. When the people wanted to return to their lands, he gave each of them a piece of land wherever they liked in their lands. Abu Shurayh said, 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me something that will make me enter Paradise.' He said, 'Good speech, spreading peace, and feeding food.'"  

أَنَّ هَانِئًا لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ يُكَنُّونَ هَانِئًا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ فَلِمَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ»؟ قَالَ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ رَضُوا بِي حَكَمًا فَأَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فقَالَ «إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَحَسَنٌ فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ»؟ قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَمُسْلِمٌ قَالَ «فَأَيُّهُمْ أَكْبَرُ»؟ قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ» فَدَعَا لَهُ وَلِوَلَدِهِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ الْقَوْمُ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى بِلَادِهِمْ أَعْطَى كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَرْضًا حَيْثُ أَحَبَّ فِي بِلَادِهِ قَالَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ يُوجِبُ لِيَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «طِيبُ الْكَلَامِ وَبَذْلُ السَّلَامِ وَإِطْعَامُ الطَّعَامِ»  

[Machine] He came with a delegation to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from his people, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him Abu al-Hakam. The man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I used to issue judgments among my people in matters that pleased some and displeased others, so I was called Abu al-Hakam. I do not have any children, so I am Abu al-Hakam." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do you have any children?" He said: "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: "What is the name of your oldest son?" He said: "Shurayh." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Then you are Abu Shurayh."  

أَنَّهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمٍ فَقَالَ «لِمَ يُكَنِّيكَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَبَا الْحَكَمِ؟» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ قَوْمِي فِي الشَّيْءِ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَيَرْضَى هَؤُلَاءِ وهَؤُلَاءِ فَكُنِّيتُ أَبَا الْحَكَمِ وَلَيْسَ لِي وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا أَبُو الْحَكَمِ قَالَ «هَلْ لَكَ وَلَدٌ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَا اسْمُ أَكْبَرِهِمْ؟» قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ»  

[Machine] I went to the Prophet ﷺ and saw them calling me by the name of my father Al-Hakam. So he said, "Indeed, Allah is the Judge, so why are you called by the name of your father Al-Hakam?" I said, "If there is any dispute among my people and they come to me to resolve it, I give a judgment that they accept." He said, "And do you have any children?" I said, "Yes." He said, "What is the name of your eldest son?" I said, "Shurayh." He said, "Then you are Abu Shurayh (the father of Shurayh)."  

وَفَدْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَرَآهُمْ يُكَنُّونِي بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ لِمَ تُكَنَّى بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ؟» قُلْتُ إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ قَوْمِي شَيْءٌ تَحَاكَمُوا إِلَيَّ فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ رَضُوا بِحُكْمِي قَالَ «وَمَا لَكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَمَا اسْمُ أَكْبَرِهِمْ؟» قُلْتُ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ»  

[Machine] He (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) came to his people and heard them calling Abu Al-Hakam happily. So, he called Abu Al-Hakam and said, "Indeed, Allah is Al-Hakam (the Judge), so why do they call you Abu Al-Hakam (the father of the Judge)?" He said, "No, but when my people differ in something, they come to me, and I judge between them, and both groups are pleased." He (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) said, "How good is this."  

أَنَّهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي قَوْمِهِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ وَهُمْ يُكَنُّونَ هَانِئًا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ فَلِمَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ بِوَلَدٍ؟» قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ رَضِيَ كُلُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ قَالَ «مَا أَحْسَنُ هَذَا»  

When he came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he heard them calling Hani' by the nickname of Abu Al-Hakam, the Messenger of Allah [SAW] called him and said to him: "Allah is Al-Hakam (the Judge) and judgment is His. Why are you known as Abu Al-Hakam?" He said: "If my people differ concerning something, they come to me, and I pass judgment among them, and both sides accept it." He said: "How good this is.

He said: "Then you are Abu Shuraih," and he supplicated for him and his son. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5387)
