Hadith 14

Al-Tarwiyya (saturation). When it was the next day and Ali-asws sighted Rasool-Allah-saww, greeted unto him-saww and smiled in his-saww face and went on to make gestures to him-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww took him-asws. (Syeda) Fatima-asws said, ‘He-asws is accustomed to his-saww recognition’. That day was named as the day of Arafaah (recognition). When it was the third days, and it was the tenth day from Zil Hajj, Abu Talib-asws proclaimed among the people a proclamation of gathering, and said: ‘Come to a feast of my-as son-asws Ali-asws! ’ And he-as slaughtered three hundred camels and a thousand heard from the cows and the sheep, and they took the feast. And he-as said: ‘And perform Tawaaf of the House (Kabah), seven (circuits), and greet unto Ali-asws my-as son-asws! ’ The people did that and the Sunnah flowed by it. His-asws mother-as in front of the Prophet-saww. He-saww opened his-asws mouth by his-saww tongue and palated him-asws, and recited Azaan in the right ear and Iqamah in the left. He-asws recognised the two testimonies and was born upon the nature’’. [22]
Explanatory note: –
The differing in this Hadeeth is not hidden to what has passed from the historical accounts, and it is possible it is carried upon the forgetfulness which Quraysh had innovated it during the pre-Islamic period that his-asws birth happened to be in Rajab or Shaban’. [23] (P. s. – This is what you would expect from Anas Bin Malik narrating)
Abu Ali Bin Hammam, raising it, ‘When Ali-asws was blessed (to his-asws parents-asws), Abu Talib-asws held a hand of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Ali-asws was upon his-asws chest, and went out to Al-Abtah and called out (in prose): ‘O Lord-azwj! O One-azwj with the dark twilight, and the continuously shining moon. Manifest to us from Your-azwj Judgment, the Decreed, what is that You-azwj View regarding the name of that child? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘Something like the cloud came creeping upon the group until it arrived to the chest of Abu Talib-asws. He-as pressed it with Ali-asws to his-as chest. When it was morning, there it was a green tabled wherein was inscribed (in prose): ‘You-as are specialised with the pure child, and the clean, the selected, the pleasant, so his-asws name is from a lofty, Ali-asws. Ali-asws being derived from the most Exalted’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The tablet was kept in the Kabah and did not cease to be over there until Hisham Bin Abdul Malik ceased it. The People-asws of the Household in the right corner from the corners of the House (Kabah). The clean birth, from the clean lineage, born in the clean place. Where can you find these honours for others? The noblest of the spots is the Sanctuary, and noblest of the Sanctuaries is the Masjid, and noblest of the spots is the Masjid of the Kabah, and no one has been born in it except him-asws. The birth inside it happens to be in the peak of nobility, and there isn’t the birth in the chief of the days, the Friday, during the Sacred month, in the Sacred House besides Amir Al-Momineen-asws’’.
