[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "What have you named your son?" I said, "Harb." He said, "He is Al-Hasan." So, when Al-Hussein was born, I named him Harb, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "What have you named your son?" I said, "Harb." He said, "He is Al-Hussein." Then, when Muhsin was born, he asked, "What have you named your son?" I said, "Harb." He said, "He is Muhsin." Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I have named my sons with the names of the sons of Harun, Shabar, Shubayr, and Mushbir."
