English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj — from the Prophet ﷺ: 'The most despicable [akhna'] name before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is that of a man who called himself King of Kings [Malik al-Amlak].' [Ahmad said: I asked Abu 'Amr al-Shaybani about akhna' — he said: 'The most debased and lowly name before Allah.']
