I heard Shaybi narrating from Abu Jubayra bin Dahhak, who said, "A man among us would have two or three names, and he would be called by some of them, perhaps by one he disliked." He said, "So this verse was revealed, 'And do not insult one another with nicknames'" [Hujurat 49:11].
حدثنا عبد الله بن إسحق الجوهري البصري حدثنا أبو زيد صاحب الهروي عن شعبة
سمعت الشعبي يحدث عن أبي جبيرة بن الضحاك قال كان الرجل منا يكون له الاسمان والثلاثة فيدعى ببعضها فعسى أن يكره قال فنزلت هذه الآية {ولا تنابزوا بالألقاب}

[Its chain of transmission is sahih]. Abu Dawud also narrated it in the Book of Manners, chapter on nicknames, no. 4962, and Ibn Majah, no. 3741, from the hadith of Dawud with the same wording. Ibn Hibban graded it sahih, no. 1761, as did Hakim, according to the criterion of Muslim, 2/181–182, 4/463.
