Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2761 — When Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali was born

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هَانِي بْنِ هَانِي، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عنْهُ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ: سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا. قَالَ: «بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ» . فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا. فَقَالَ: «بَلْ هُوَ حُسَيْنٌ» . فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتِ الثَّالِثَ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا. فَقَالَ: «بَلْ هُوَ مُحَسِّنٌ» . ثُمَّ قَالَ: «سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِوَلَدِ هَارُونَ شَبَرَ وَشُبَيْرَ وَمُشَبِّرَ»
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was born, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son. What have you named him?" I said: I have named him Harb. He said: "No, rather he is Hasan." Then when Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was born, he (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said the same thing. I said: I have named him Harb. He said: "No, rather he is Husayn." Then when Sayyidah Fatimah gave birth to the third son, he (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said the same thing. I said: I have named him Harb. He said: "No, rather he is Muhassin." Then he said: "I have named them after the names of the children of Harun (peace be upon him): Shabbar, Shubayr and Mushabbir."
