It was narrated from Shuraib bin Hani’ from his father, that when he came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he heard them calling Hani’ by the nickname of AbIi Al Hakam, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم called him and said to him: “Allah is Al-Hakam (the Judge) and judgment is His. Why are you known as Abh 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. (Hasan)
