[Machine] "A man came and called out, seeking permission from Abu Isa to see the Commander of the Faithful, Umar. Umar asked, 'Who is Abu Isa?' The man replied, 'Al-Mughira bin Shu'bah is Abu Isa.' Umar said, 'Does Isa have a father? In the nicknames of the Arabs, we do not conceal the names of Abu Abdullah and Abu Abdul Rahman.' A man said, 'I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ giving him the nickname Al-Mughira.' Umar said, 'Verily, the Prophet ﷺ has forgiven him for his past and future sins, and we are in a state of uncertainty about what will become of us. So, we nickname him after Abu Abdullah.'"
