Hadith 66

Know that Sheikh Radi Al Deen Ali ibn Yusuf Ibn Al Mukhtar Al Hilli, the brother of Allama (Al Hilli), mentioned in his book ‘Al Adad Al Qawiya Li Daf’a Al Makhawif Al Yawmiya) previously referenced, the notable events of each day and night of the Arabic months based on what he had gathered, whether they were interesting, rare, or significant. However, as we have previously indicated, we only have access to the latter half of this book. Therefore, in what we convey here from his book, we limit ourselves to summarising the notable events from the 15th day of the month onward and do not mention the events of the preceding days. He, may his soul be Sanctified, said in the aforementioned book regarding the events of the 15th day in ‘Tareekh Al Mufeed’, it is stated that on the 15th day of the month of Ramazan, in the second year of Hijra, coinciding with the Battle of Badr, was the birth of our master Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws. In the book ‘Dalail Al Aimma-asws’ it is stated that Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws was born on the 15th of the month of Ramazan in the third year of Hijra. In the book ‘Al Hujja’, it is mentioned that Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws was born during the month of Ramazan during in the year of Badr in the 2nd year after the Hijra. And it is reported he-asws was born in the year three at Al Medina, and in the book ‘Kitab Tohfa Al Zarfa’a’, he-asws was born in the middle of Ramazan of the year three of the Hijrah, and like that is in ‘Kitab Al Zakheera’, and in ‘Kitab Al Mujtabeyn’ in the attribution of the birth of Al-Hassan-asws during the month of Ramazan the 3rd from the Hijrah at Al Medina nineteen days before occurrence of (battle of) Badr. And in the book ‘Al Tazkira’ Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws was born in the middle of a month of Ramazan-asws of the year three from the Hijra, and during it was the battle of Ohad in which the Prophet-saww had an army of one thousand, while the polytheists had three thousand. Hamza Ibn Abd Al Muttalib-as was killed during this battle when Wahshi, a servant of Jubayr Ibn Mut’im, struck him-as with a spear. In the book ‘Mawalid Al Aimma-asws’ it is mentioned that our master Al-Hasan-asws was born in the month of Ramazan in the year of the Battle of Badr, the second year of Hijra. According to one narration, it was in the third year (of Hijra). It is also said that it was on Tuesday, the 15th of Ramazan in the third year of Hijra, in Medina, during the reign of Yazdegerd ibn Shahriyar. In ‘Tareekh’ of Al Mufeed it is mentioned that on the 15th of Jumada Al Awwal in the year 36 of Hijra, the conquest of Basra took place, and Divine victory descended upon Amir Al Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws. In the book ‘Al Tazkira’, it is mentioned that in this year, Muawiyah declared his claim to the caliphate. During this year, Jariyah Ibn Qudamah Al Sa’di pledged allegiance to Ali-asws in Basra, and Abdullah Ibn Amir fled from it. In the same year, Al Zubayr went to Makkah, and the battle of the Camel took place on Thursday, the 5th of Jumada Al Akhirah. During this battle, Talha was killed. And in this year, Muawiyah made a peace agreement with the Romans, sending them a tribute due to his involvement in the war against Ali-asws. In ‘Tareekh’ of Al Mufeed, it is mentioned that on the 15th of Jumada Al Awwal in the year 36 of Hijra, the birth of our master Abu Muhammad Ali Ibn Al-Husayn Zayn Al Abideen-asws took place. This is a Blessed and noble day, in which fasting and performing voluntary good deeds are recommended. And in the book ‘Al Durr’, he-asws was born at Al Medina in the year thirty-eight. Similarly, in the book ‘Mawalid Al Aimma-asws’, it is stated that he was born two years before the death of his grandfather Amir Al Momineen Ali-asws, while another narration mentions he-asws was born six years before his-asws grandfather’s passing. In the book Al Zakhira, his-asws birth is recorded as occurring in the year 36, and some say it was in the year 38. In the book Al Irshad, it is also noted that Ali Ibn Al-Husayn-asws was born in Medina in the year 38 of Hijra, as is stated in ‘Al Hujja’. And in the book ‘Al Misbah’, his-asws birth was in the middle of Jamadi Al Aw
