Hadith 24:4
Ibn ‘Ulayyah narrated to us, from Ibn ‘Awn, from Muhammad, who said: Al-Walid ibn ‘Uqbah said while he was delivering a sermon: "O people of Kufa, I adjure anyone who called me 'As‘arir' (the one who kindles fire) to stand up." Then ‘Adi stood up from his room and stood, and said to him: "It is he who stands and says, 'I am the one who named you [that].'" Ibn ‘Awn said: And he was the one who had named him that.
حدثنا بن علية عن بن عون عن محمد قال قال الوليد بن عقبة وهو يخطب يا أهل الكوفة أعزم على من [ سماني ] اسعرير ( 1 ) كا لما قام فخرج عدي من غرفته فقام فقال له إنه ( 2 ) الذي يقوم فيقول أنا الذي سميتك قال بن عون وكان هو الذي سماه
