This verse was revealed about us, the Banu Salimah: "Nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness (to be used of one) after he has believed." He said: When the apostle of Allah ﷺ came to us, every one of us had two or three names. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to say: O so and so! But they would say: Keep silence, Messenger of Allah! He becomes angry by this name. So this verse was revealed: "Nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames."  

فِينَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ { وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الإِيمَانِ } قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا رَجُلٌ إِلاَّ وَلَهُ اسْمَانِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةٌ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَا فُلاَنُ فَيَقُولُونَ مَهْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْ هَذَا الاِسْمِ فَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ }  

"(Allah's saying) "Nor insult one another by nicknames(Surah Al Hujarat 49:11)" was revealed concerning us, the Ansar. When the Prophet ﷺ came to us, a man among us would have two or three names, and the Prophet ﷺ might call him by one of those names, only to be told: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he does not like that name." Then:"Nor insult one another by nicknames." was revealed."  

فِينَا نَزَلَتْ مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ {وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ) قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَهُ الاِسْمَانِ وَالثَّلاَثَةُ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُبَّمَا دَعَاهُمْ بِبَعْضِ تِلْكَ الأَسْمَاءِ فَيُقَالُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْ هَذَا فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ}  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came to a gathering where each one of us had a nickname or two. When he called a person by their nickname, we would say, "O Messenger of Allah, this nickname bothers this person." He replied, "And you have descended {And do not insult one another by nicknames}" [Al-Hujurat: 11].  

عَنْ عُمُومَةٍ لَهُ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ لَقَبٌ أَوْ لَقَبَانِ قَالَ فَكَانَ إِذَا دَعَا رَجُلًا بِلَقَبِهِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا يَكْرَهُ هَذَا قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات 11]  

[Machine] "In Bani Salamah, it was revealed: 'And do not insult one another with nicknames' (Quran, Al-Hujurat 11). It was said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and there was not a single person among us who did not have two or three names.' It was said, 'A man would be called and they would say, 'Muh, muh, muh,' indicating that he gets angry at this nickname.' So the verse was revealed: 'And do not insult one another with nicknames' (Quran, Al-Hujurat 11). 'The chain of narration is authentic and they did not exclude it' (Sahih)."  

فِينَا نَزَلَتْ فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات 11] قَالَ «قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَلَهُ اسْمَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ» قَالَ «فَكَانَ يُدْعَى الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُونَ مَهْ مَهْ مَهْ إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْ هَذَا» فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات 11] «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» صحيح  

[Machine] Abu Jabirah ibn al-Dhahak said: "This verse was revealed among us, meaning the Banu Salamah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, and not a single one of us had only one name. Each one of us had two or three names. So when a man was called by his name, we would say, 'O Messenger of Allah, he dislikes this.' So the verse {And do not insult one another by [offensive] nicknames} was revealed."  

أَبُو جَبِيرَةَ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ فِينَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ يَعْنِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَمَا مِنَّا رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَلَهُ اسْمَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَكَانَ إِذَا دَعَا الرَّجُلُ بِالِاسْمِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ يَكْرَهُ هَذَا فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} الْآيَةُ  

[Machine] Among us, the Ansar, this verse was revealed: "And do not insult one another by offensive nicknames." The Prophet ﷺ came and a man had two names, and there were three others. So the Prophet ﷺ sometimes called them by some of those names, and it was said, "O Messenger of Allah, he gets angry when called by those names." So this verse was revealed: "And do not insult one another by offensive nicknames."  

فِينَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالرَّجُلُ لَهُ الِاسْمَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رُبَّمَا دَعَاهُمْ بِبَعْضِ تِلْكَ الْأَسْمَاءِ فَيُقَالُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْ هَذِهِ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ}
