Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 498 — he named his eldest son Hamzah
حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ سَالِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمَّى ابْنَهُ الْأَكْبَرَ حَمْزَةَ ، وَسَمَّى حُسَيْنًا بِعَمِّهِ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا ، فَلَمَّا أَتَى ، قَالَ : غَيَّرْتَ اسْمَ ابْنَيَّ هَذَيْنِ ؟ قُلْتُ : اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، فَسَمَّى حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he named his eldest son Hamzah (after his uncle), and named Husayn after his uncle Ja'far. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and when he came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you changed the names of these two sons of mine?" I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) named them Hasan and Husayn.
