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  

When Hani went with his people in a deputation to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he heard them calling him by his kunyah (surname), AbulHakam. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said: Allah is the judge (al-Hakam), and to Him judgment belongs. Why are you given the kunyah AbulHakam? He replied: When my people disagree about a matter, they come to me, and I decide between them, and both parties are satisfied with my decision. He said: How good this is! What children have you? He replied: I have Shurayh, Muslim and Abdullah. He asked; Who is the oldest of them? I replied: Shurayh. He said: Then you are AbuShurayh. Abu Dawud said: This is Shuraib who broke the chain, and who entered Tustar. Abu Dawud said: I have been told that Shuraib broke the gate of Tustar, and he entered it through tunnel.  

أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ سَمِعَهُمْ يَكْنُونَهُ بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ فَلِمَ تُكْنَى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَىْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَضِيَ كِلاَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ قَالَ لِي شُرَيْحٌ وَمُسْلِمٌ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ قُلْتُ شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ  

[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»
