Chapter: Calling oneself the Judge of Judges and the likes of it
في الصحيح، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “إن أخنع اسم عند الله رجل تسمَّى ملك الأملاك، لا مالك إلا الله“.
In the Saheeh, from Abi Hurairah may Allaah be pleased with him, from the Prophet ﷺ, he said: “Indeed the most lowly name with Allaah is a man calling himself the king of kings, there is no king except Allaah.”
Sufyaan said: “Like the Shah of Shahs.”
And in a narration: “The most angering of men to Allaah on the Day of Judgment and most dispicable.”
His statement: (أخنع) – Akhna’ meaning: Lowly
In it are Masaa’il (topics):
The First: The prohibition of calling oneself the king of kings.
The Second: Verily what carries the same meaning is included with it, as Sufyaan said.
The Third: Being aware and understanding the coarseness in this and the likes of it, with assertion that the heart did not intend that meaning.
The Fourth: Being aware and understanding that this is due (to the right) of Allaah.
