لقب

Core meaning

The nickname applied to someone to belittle him.

Uses

1. ٱلْأَلْقَٰب → "nicknames" : names given to wound, exchanged in addressing one another.

   • «وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا۟ بِٱلْأَلْقَٰبِ» — "and do not call each other by nicknames" (49:11)

Evidence from the text

The only use follows the prohibition of disparaging by insinuation: "And do not disparage yourselves by insinuation, and do not call each other by nicknames" (49:11). The verb تَنَابَزُوا۟ says the mutual exchange; لقب says what is exchanged: a name that belittles.
