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.
