6. We were told by Ahmad bin Hasan al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by Hasan bin Ali al-Sukkari, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Zakariya al-Jawhari, that he said: We were told by Abbas bin Bakkar, that he said: We were told by ‘Abbad bin Kathir and Abu Bakr al-Hudhayli, from Abu’l-Zubair, from Jabir, that he said:

When Fatima, peace be upon her, was pregnant with Hasan and gave birth, and the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, had ordered them to wrap him in a white cloth, they wrapped him in a yellow one, and Fatima, peace be upon her, said: O Ali, name him. He said: I am not to to precede in naming him than the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family. Then the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, came, took him, kissed him and entered his tongue into his mouth, and Hasan, peace be upon him, began to suck on it. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said to them: Did I not tell you in advance that you should wrap him in a white cloth? Then he requested a white cloth and wrapped him in it and threw the yellow one, recited the Adhan into his right ear, recited the Iqamah into his left, and then he said to Ali, peace be upon him: What did you name him? Then he said: I am not to precede you with regards to his name. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: I am not to precede my Lord in naming him. Then Allah, Glorified be His remembrance, revealed to Jibra’eel, peace be upon him: It has been begotten to Muhammed a son, so descend to him and recite to him peace from Me, and congratulate him on behalf of Me and yourself, and say to him: Indeed, Ali is to you in the same position as Harun to Musa, so name him by the name of Harun’s son. Then Jibra’eel came to the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, and congratulated him and said to him like how Allah, Exalted is He, ordered him with regards to naming his son by the name of Harun’s son. He said: And what was his name? He said: Shabar. He said: My tongue is Arabic. He said: Name him Hasan. So he named him Hasan. Then, when she gave birth to Hussain, peace be upon him, the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, came to them and did with him as he did with Hasan, peace be upon him, and Jibra’eel descended unto the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, and said: Indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious be His remembrance, recites to you peace and says to you: Indeed, Ali is to you in the same position as Harun to Musa, so name him by the name of Harun’s son. He said: What was his name? He said: Shubayr. He said: My tongue is Arabic. He said: Name him Hussain. So he named him Hussain.
