٢٧۔ كِتَابُ مَعْرِفَةِ الصَّحَابَةِ ؓ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every child of a tribe belongs to that tribe, except for the two sons of Fatimah; I am their guardian and part of their tribe."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِكُلِّ بَنِي أُمِّ عَصَبَةٌ يَنْتَمُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا ابْنَيْ فَاطِمَةَ فَأَنَا وَلِيُّهُمَا وَعَصَبَتُهُمَا»
[Machine] Al-Hasan and Al-Husain came running to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he embraced them and said, "Indeed, children are treasures, cowards, and sources of sorrow."
جَاءَ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ يَسْتَبِقَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَضَمَّهُمَا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْوَلَدَ مَبْخَلَةٌ مَجْبَنَةٌ مَحْزَنَةٌ»
[Machine] Al-Hajjaj was not from the lineage of the Prophet peace be upon him. And with him was Yahya ibn Ya'mar, so he said to him, "O Amir, you have lied." So he said, "Come to me with clear evidence and conclusive proof from the Book of Allah, Almighty, or I will kill you." So he said, "And from his descendants are Dawud, Sulayman, Ayyub, Yusuf, and Musa, to the saying of Allah, Almighty, 'And Zakariyya, Yahya, 'Isa, and Ilyas'" [Al-An'am 85]. So Allah, Almighty, informed that 'Isa is from the descendants of Adam through his mother, and Al-Husayn ibn Ali is from the descendants of Muhammad peace be upon him through his mother. He said, "You spoke the truth, so what led you to deny me in this matter?" He said, "Allah has taken a covenant from the prophets to proclaim it to the people and not conceal it." He said, "So they rejected it behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price" [Al Imran 187]. He said, "So he banished him to Khurasan."
الْحَجَّاجُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْمَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ «كَذَبْتَ أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ» فَقَالَ لَتَأْتِيَنِّي عَلَى مَا قُلْتَ بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَمِصْدَاقٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ أَوْ لَأَقْتُلَنَّكَ قَتْلًا فَقَالَ {وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَى} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيَى وَعِيسَى وَإِلْيَاسَ} [الأنعام 85] فَأَخْبَرَ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَنَّ عِيسَى مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ بِأُمِّهِ وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ بِأُمِّهِ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى تَكْذِيبِي فِي مَجْلِسٍ قَالَ مَا أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَيُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا يَكْتُمُونَهُ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَاشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 187] قَالَ فَنَفَاهُ إِلَى خُرَاسَانَسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
When al-Hasan was born, I named him Harb [which means war], then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: ʿShow me my son; what did you name him?ʿ We said: Harb. He said: ʿRather he is Hasan.” When al-Husain was born, I named him Harb, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: “Show me my son; what did you name him?” We said; Harb. He said: “Rather he is Husain.” When the third one was born, I named him Harb. The Prophet ﷺ came and said: “Show me my son, what did you name him?” I said. Harb. He said: ʿRather, he is Muhassin.ʿ Then he said: ʿI have named them after the fashion of the sons of Haroon, Shabbar and Shabeer and Mushabbir.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 769)
لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ الْحَسَنَ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ» فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتِ الْحُسَيْنَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حُسَيْنٌ» ثُمَّ لَمَّا وَلَدَتِ الثَّالِثَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ مُحْسِنٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِاسْمِ وَلَدِ هَارُونَ شَبَرٌ وَشُبَيْرٌ وَمُشْبِرٌ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once came to her and said, "Where are my sons?" She replied, "Ali has taken them." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went and found them playing in a well with some dates in their hands. He said to Ali, "O Ali, why did you not turn my sons around before the heat?" He then mentioned the rest of the narration, "Muhammad bin Musa, this is the son of Mashmool, a trustworthy Medinan, and Awn, this is the son of Muhammad bin Ubaid-Allah bin Abi Rafi, both of them are trustworthy. And their mother is Ja'far's daughter, Asma bint Abi Bakr. I found her as Asma bint Abi Bakr. They are all noble trustworthy people." But Muhammad (ibn Musa) weakened it.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَاهَا يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ ابْنَايَ؟» فَقَالَتْ ذَهَبَ بِهِمَا عَلِيٌّ فَتَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدَهُمَا يَلْعَبَانِ فِي مَشْرُبَةٍ وَبَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمَا فَضْلٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ «يَا عَلِيُّ أَلَا تَقْلِبُ ابْنِي قَبْلَ الْحَرِّ» وَذَكَرَ بَاقِي الْحَدِيثِ «مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى هَذَا هُوَ ابْنُ مَشْمُولٍ مَدِينِيٌّ ثِقَةٌ وَعَوْنُ هَذَا هُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ هُوَ وَأَبُوهُ ثِقَتَانِ وَأُمُّ جَعْفَرٍ هِيَ ابْنَةُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَجَدْتُهَا أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَكُلُّهُمْ أَشْرَافٌ ثِقَاتٌ» بل محمد ضعفوه
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with us in one of the evening prayers of Dhuhr or Asr while carrying one of his sons, either Al-Hasan or Al-Husayn. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then went forward and placed him at his right foot, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated for a long time. My father said, "I raised my head among the people, and behold, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prostrating, and the boy was riding on his back. So I went back and prostrated. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, the people said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you prostrated in this prayer, a prostration we have not seen you do before. Were you commanded to do so, or did something specific inspire you?'" He said, "All of that was not the case, but my son rode on me, so I disliked to hurry him until he had satisfied his need."
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي إِحْدَى صَلَاتِيِ الْعَشِيِّ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ أَحَدِ ابْنَيْهِ الْحَسَنِ أَوِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعَهُ عِنْدَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَسَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَجْدَةً أَطَالَهَا قَالَ أَبِي فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَإِذَا الْغُلَامُ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَعُدْتُ فَسَجَدْتُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَجَدْتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ هَذِهِ سَجْدَةً مَا كُنْتَ تَسْجُدُهَا أَفَشَيْءٌ أُمِرْتَ بِهِ؟ أَوْ كَانَ يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَلَكِنِ ابْنِي ارْتَحَلَنِي فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَعْجَلَهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Hasan and Husain are my sons. Whoever loves them, loves me. And whoever loves me, Allah loves him. And whoever Allah loves, He will admit him to Paradise. And whoever dislikes them, dislikes me. And whoever dislikes me, dislikes Allah. And whoever dislikes Allah, He will admit him to the Hellfire."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ ابْنَايَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمَا أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَحَبَّنِي أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمَا أَبْغَضَنِي وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَنِي أَبْغَضَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُ اللَّهُ أَدْخَلَهُ النَّارَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us, and with him were Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn. He had Al-Hasan on his shoulder and Al-Husayn on his other shoulder. He was kissing Al-Hasan and then Al-Husayn, alternately. He came to us and a man said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, do you love them?" He said, "Yes, whoever loves them, loves me, and whoever dislikes them, dislikes me."
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ هَذَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ وَهَذَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ وَهُوَ يَلْثِمُ هَذَا مَرَّةً وَهَذَا مَرَّةً حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تُحِبُّهُمَا؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمَا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمَا فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي»
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn are the leaders of the youth of the people of Paradise, except for the sons of the paternal aunt."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا ابْنَيِ الْخَالَةِ»
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Hasan and Husain will be the leaders of the youth of Paradise, and their father is better than them." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 118)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَبُوهُمَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمَا»
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Hasan and Husain will be the leaders of the youth of Paradise, and their father is better than them." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 118)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَبُوهُمَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمَا» معلى بن عبد الرحمن متروك
“The Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge for Hasan and Husain and say: A’udhu bi kalimatil-lahil- tammati, min kulli shaitanin wa hammah, wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah (I seek refuge for you both in the Perfect Words of Allah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).’ And he would say: ‘Thus Ibrahim used to seek refuge with Allah for Isma’il and Ishaq,’ or he said: ‘for Isma’il and Ya’qub.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3525)
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعَوِّذُ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ يَقُولُ «أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «هَكَذَا كَانَ يُعَوِّذُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنَيْهِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ»
[Machine] "We used to pray the evening prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When he would prostrate, Al-Hasan and Al-Husain would climb onto his back, and when he raised his head, he would take them and place them gently beside him. When he finished, he made one sit here and the other sit there. So I approached him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I not take them to their mother?' He replied, 'No.' Then he smiled and said, 'Indeed, their mother's right is upon them.' So they continued to walk in its light until they entered."
كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعِشَاءَ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَثَبَ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ أَخَذَهُمَا فَوَضَعَهُمَا وَضْعًا رَفِيقًا فَإِذَا عَادَ عَادًا فَلَمَّا صَلَّى جَعَلَ وَاحِدًا هَا هُنَا وَوَاحِدًا هَا هُنَا فَجِئْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أَذْهَبُ بِهِمَا إِلَى أُمِّهِمَا؟ قَالَ «لَا» فَبَرَقَتْ بَرْقَةً فَقَالَ «الْحَقَا بِأُمِّكُمَا» فَمَا زَالَا يَمْشِيَانِ فِي ضَوْئِهَا حَتَّى دَخَلَا
[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."
لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا سَمَّيْتَ ابْنِي؟» قُلْتُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «هُوَ الْحَسَنُ» فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا سَمَّيْتَ ابْنِي؟» قُلْتُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «هُوَ الْحُسَيْنُ» فَلَمَّا أَنْ وُلِدَ مُحْسِنٌ قَالَ «مَا سَمَّيْتَ ابْنِي؟» قُلْتُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «هُوَ مُحْسِنٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنِّي سَمَّيْتُ بَنِي هَؤُلَاءِ بِتَسْمِيَةِ هَارُونَ بَنِيهِ شَبَرًا وَشُبَيْرًا وَمُشْبِرًا»
