Fatima begot al-Hasan and said to `Ali : Name him. He said: I do not want to precede the Messenger of Allah in naming him. Then, the Messenger of Allah (s) came and he was brought to him in a yellow rag. He said: Had I not forbidden you from bundling him in yellow (cloth)? Then he cast it aside and took a white rag and wrapped him in it. Then he said to `Ali : Have you named him? He said: I did not wish to precede you in naming him. So, he (s) said: And I do not wish to precede my Lord in naming him. So, Allah revealed to Jibra’il that a son had been born to Muhammad. Descend and convey the salaam to him and congratulate him. And say to him: Surely, `Ali is to you in the position of Harun to Musa; so mark him with the name of the son of Harun. So Jibra’il descended and congratulated him from Allah. Then he said: Allah commands you to call him by the name of the son of Harun. He said: And what was his name? He said: Shabar. He said: My tongue is Arabic. He said: Name him al-Hasan. So, he named him al-Hasan. When Husayn was born, Allah revealed to Jibra’il that a son had been born to Muhammad. So, descend towards him and congratulate him, and say to him: Surely, `Ali is to you in the position of Harun to Musa; so mark him with the name of the son of Harun. He said: So Jibra’il descended and congratulated him from Allah. Then he said: Surely, `Ali is to you in the position of Harun to Musa; so mark him with the name of the son of Harun. He said: And what was his name? He said: Shubayr. He said: My tongue is Arabic. He said: Name him al-Husayn. So, he named him al Husayn.
