حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

لَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا، قَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ، فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا، قَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ حُسَيْنٌ، فَلَمَّا وَلَدْتُ الثَّالِثَ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: حَرْبًا، قَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ مُحَسِّنٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِأَسْمَاءِ وَلَدِ هَارُونَ: شَبَّرُ، وَشَبِيرُ، وَمُشَبِّرُ
