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.
