Hani' ibn Yazid related that when he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) with his people, the Prophet heard them using the kunya Abu 'l-Hakam. The Prophet (ﷺ) called him and said, "Allah is the Judge (al-Hakam) and He has judgement. Why have you been given the kunya Abu 'l-Hakam?" He said, "When my people disagree about something, they bring it to me and I judge between them so that both parties are content." "How excellent this!" the Prophet exclaimed. Then he asked, "Do you have any children?" Hani' replied, "I have Shurayh, 'Abdullah and Muslim, the Banu Hani'.' He asked, "Which of them is the oldest?" "Shurayh," he replied. He said, "You are Abu Shurayh," and he made supplication for him and his children.
