وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "إن أخنع اسم عند الله عز وجل رجل تسمى ملك الأملاك" ((متفق عليه)). قال سُفيانُ بن عُيَيْنَةَ: «مَلِكُ الأَمْلاَكِ» مِثْلُ: شَاهِن شَاهِ.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The most disgraceful man near Allah is a man who calls himself (or likes others to call him) Malikul-Amlak (i.e., king of kings)."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
