 The mysteries of Islam fascinate us time and time again This is no different from the life story of the Prophet Who was Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam? An illiterate doesn't merchant who one day stumbled upon amazing Arabic rhetoric Or was he the creation of Allah's greatest light? Sent down to earth to pull man out of ignorance and bring them to the purest of truths I I Ali Burji I'm on a journey to discover the real story behind the Prophet The real story behind our religion the roots the beginning the cradle of civilization May I mean what I'm not Allah a lot of the adai him a gem I mean I'm illa qia me I'm a Dean Doctor Al-Azeez so Right now insha Allah we shall be discussing the will adder the birthday of Imam Al-Hasan alaihi salam and Imam al-Hussain salallahu alaihi wa alihi Certain traditions we do with you guys so our new burns we take it from Imam al-Hasan alaihi salam So insha Allah we we could begin with regards to Narrations regarding the will adder of Imam Al-Hasan Bismillah Yes on the occasion of the birth of Imam Hussain alaihi salam when I'm on Hussain alaihi salam was born He was taken to His father Imam Ali alaihi salam and He was asked my money that was asked that what are you going to? What name have you decided for him what are you going to call him and he said that I'm not going to Name him before The Prophet salallahu alaihi wa alihi so Imam Ali took Imam Hassan on the infant baby Hassan newborn Hassan to You hadn't didn't have the name to the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa alihi and he said oh Prophet what will you Call him and he said I'm not going to do so until I receive instruction from Allah Subhanata Allah and the Jibril alaihi salam descended and he said to him This famous hadith and that Ali is from you like The station of Haroon from Musa or Ali is to you like Haroon was to Musa So Called him by the name of the son of Haroon and he said the what's the name of Salam Haroon He says Shubba. He said but my tongue my language is Arabic. So Jibril alaihi salam Said to him. Okay, man. You call him Hassan so If you like this is the equivalent of Shubba in Hebrew so Imam the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa alihi called the newborn Hassan alaihi salam and There were a number of Acts committee of traditions which have remained traditions and until now they are highly people are highly encouraged to Observe the those traditions which are one of them he recited the azan in the right ear of this baby baby Hassan and Recited the Iqamah in the left ear Of the baby is it is highly Mustahab it is if you like you could say it's very important should that people do that well should they do that Once the baby is born right there and there or should they Have like some freedom of time as soon as they can I mean If you like the list of traditions to be taught is is to name the boy or the child As soon as you can not only name you pick the name before the child is born you could And also you it's you send me and you can knee and to give a cunea for him. That is an Agnomen And that you called him for his sense. I'm a Hassan was called Abu Muhammad Imam Hussain was called about Abdullah And So the first thing was to give him a name give him a cunea and recite the azan in the right ear And recite the Iqamah in the left ear Another tradition which is mustahab to do is to shave the head of the new bone and The equal to the weight of that hair is to give gold to You know to the poor This is the value of it. Oh, yeah In gold and also to do what is called a qiqa, which is to if you like a slaughter Sheep and Cook it and give it to the need not necessarily the need you to it can be friends Yeah, that's right friends and so on So yes to give Doesn't have to be the poor just Friends or whoever invited and again so so basically by giving him a name giving me cunea Doing reciting the azan in the right ear reciting the Iqamah in the left ear shaving the head of the child and giving the weight of that hair. She's going to be extremely tiny Gold to the poor and also the Iqa so these these are these were the traditions that were done and of course a Concision these were the two which were done for Mama Hassan, alaihi salam, and they continue to be observed by the faithful And they are encouraged to observe them Highly recommended that they do that for this for the children for the newborn subhanallah Now something you mentioned Regarding The naming of Mama Hassan, alaihi salam, which is something quite very important again we can see throughout the history of The the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi and his family how Allah's part Allah always emphasizes on their uniqueness and difference from others from normal people like you and I So Allah's part Allah himself Named Imam al Hassan so again here we see that Imam Ali does not have the authority to name his own son I don't respect. He goes to the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi and the holy prophet himself Passes it to Allah subhanallah that he himself doesn't have the authority and Allah subhanallah rule name now One may argue. Okay. It might be important To for example appoint Amir al-Mu'mineen to Fatima to Zahra, but naming the child Why why why wouldn't Amir al-Mu'mineen or the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi Would couldn't appoint the naming of the child They wouldn't pick a good name for him What was the significance of Allah subhanallah pointing the name of Imam al Hassan, alaihi salam Yes, of course, we don't have at least I haven't seen the in any in any tradition that Imam Ali didn't have the authority to name but as you mentioned No, do we have anything that the prophet didn't have any authority to name but as you mentioned it's out of respect the Imam Ali Didn't want to name him before the prophet does and when he took him to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi again out of respect The prophet didn't name him until he received instruction from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as to your question as to why again that It goes to show the status and to reveal the status of in any way they could from different angles front part from the fact that the the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi said that They are the leaders. They are the mice my 12 successes Ali Hassan Hussein and someone he named them one by one And these are according they are appointed as my successes by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala So according to divine instructions Wasn't only his choice even though his choice would have been fine with us because he's he's the messenger of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala But he wanted to directly link it to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and here again I said they use every opportunity to try to show to the Muslims That who they are That they are linked to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala if you like that they are not only instruct appointed by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, but also Even their names are chosen by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and This is something which is extremely important and they want to show to the people That these are the sort of people that we're talking about and these are the people who should be The leaders of the of the nation after the Prophet sallallahu ala wa ala and of course in the case of Imam Hassan after Imam his father Imam Ali but unfortunately They didn't honor that sort of respect for them and Not only that they didn't have the honor to have them as At least the Muslim women at that time to have them as the Imam and Leaders and some other people Because of Military coups or whatever to cover the rain and ruled but the point of them all this was that they wanted to To be made clear to the people that Imam Hassan was not an ordinary person and it wasn't they didn't suffice to Having said okay. He's been appointed by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala to lead to be the Khalifa of Rasulullah at least the second Khalifa even to If you like small issues like naming him was dedicated to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and People like Imam Ali his father and the Prophet his grandfather Would not come forward and give a name out of respect for Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala that Allah gives the name Decides the name for these New bones both Imam Hassan and Mar Hussein Now how's the how's the climate in Medina we have the new bone the holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam must be very happy So is the household What's Historically, what's the environment like at that time when the whole when Imam Hassan alaihi sallam was born What was what was the environment in Medina? How was it were things going on with well at that early? that was if you like the early stages and Obviously at that time People like Imam Ali and Fatima Zahra were highly respected if you like the people who had Ulterior motives they hadn't sort of worked through the if you like the community and they hadn't spread as much as People would Expect so if you like people rejoiced at the birth of Imam Hassan the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam rejoiced and And Especially also a Imam Hussein was born and of course I will come inshallah after mentioning the birth of Imam Hussein alaihi sallam What the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam? said about the Successes his successes inshallah will come into that basically he wanted to make clear to the people that These are the ones who should lead these are the ones who are instructed Who have been Instructed by by Allah's father to lead the nation. So the Prophet used every opportunity to tell the nation About them about from apart from the physical or the apparent, you know The new born people were rejoicing the Prophet made a key if you like people were invited To eat the food from it from the Aqqa part from all these The Prophet used this opportunity to indicate that these In this case Imam Hassan and later on Imam Hassan and Hussein will be the leaders to lead all the Khalifa the successes to lead the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam But you asked who will add of Imam Hussein In the case of Imam Hussein alaihi sallam, it was something similar. Well, I'm a Hussein was born The Imam Ali alaihi sallam brought Imam Hussein to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He was first was first asked to name the The new born and he said that he would not do so out of respect and he would Ask the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to Name him and he went to the Prophet he gave him the new born and he asked him to name him and he said he would not do so Until he was instruction was instruction from Allah subhanataa ala Again similar to the case of Imam Hassan Jibril alaihi sallam came down and he said Ali Minka Manzir alia Minka come up manzir al-Taharuna min Musa You Ali to you is to you like Harun was to Musa alaihi sallam and name him the name of the son of Musa and the son of Harun and of course the next son of Harun He said what was the son of name of son of Harun was he said it was Shubair and The same thing he said the son of Arabic my tongue is Arabic and I would like to give him an Arabic name so Jibril said to him said to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi name him Hussain and The Prophet named this new born Hussain and of course he did the same thing as he did with Imam Hassan And the Prophet wanted to make sure as I said To try to Come to some sort of peace treaties with these different tribes If like non-aggression treaties Non-aggression in the sense and not only they don't directly fight the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi But they don't want to align with other groups or creation to fight the Prophet this was his main thing And he achieved the great deal as well as that What it achieved that it it gave Some confidence to the Muslims and it gave a reputation for the Muslims in the eyes of various tribes that they are Not Easy to defeat. They are for them for medieval force. They are determined to Protect themselves the Muslims So this is the same as send that kind of message to the to the various tribes
