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 }  

[Machine] In Bani Salimah, the verse "Do not insult one another by using offensive nicknames" [Al-Hujurat 11] was revealed. It is said that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, every man among them had two or three names. So, whenever he called someone by one of those names, they would say, "O Messenger of Allah, he dislikes being called by this name." He ﷺ said, "The verse 'Do not insult one another by using offensive nicknames' was then revealed."  

فِينَا نَزَلَتْ فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ} [الحجرات 11] قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَلَهُ اسْمَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَكَانَ إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ بِاسْمٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَسْمَاءِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ}  

[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] 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}
