حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
لَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: حَرْبًا، قَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ، فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَرُونِي ابْنِي، مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: حَرْبًا، قَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ حُسَيْنٌ، فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الثَّالِثُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَرُونِي ابْنِي، مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: حَرْبًا، قَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ مُحَسِّنٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِأَسْمَاءِ وَلَدِ هَارُونَ: شَبَّرُ، وَشَبِيرُ، وَمُشَبِّرٌ

✧ When al-Hasan was born, I named him Harb. The Messenger of God ﷺ came and said, "Show me my son. What have you named him?" I said, "Harb." He said, "Rather, he is Hasan." When al-Husayn was born, I named him Harb. The Messenger of God ﷺ came and said, "Show me my son. What have you named him?" I said, "Harb." He said, "Rather, he is Husayn." When the third was born, I named him Harb. The Prophet ﷺ came and said, "Show me my son. What have you named him?" I said, "Harb." He said, "Rather, he is Muhassin." Then he said, "I have named them after the names of the sons of Harun: Shabbar, Shabir, and Mushabbir."
