Hadith 100

(The book) ‘Rijal’ of Al Kashy, ‘I found in the handwriting of Jibraeel Bin Ahmad, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Mihran, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Shazawiya Bin Al-Hassan Bin Dawood Al Qummi who said, ‘I entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws, and there was a pregnancy with my wife. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Supplicate to Allah-azwj that He-azwj Graces me a male child’. He-asws lowered his-asws head for a while, then raised his-asws head and said: ‘Go, for Allah-azwj shall Grace you a male child’ – three times. He (the narrator) said, ‘I arrived at Makkah and came to the Masjid. Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Sabbah came with a message from a group of our companions, from them being Safwan Bin Yahya and Muhammad Bin Sinan, and Ibn Abu Umeyr and others. I went to them. They asked me, so I informed them of what he-asws had said. They said to me, ‘Did you understand from him-asws, a male child (Zakar) or intelligent (Zaky)? ’ I said, ‘Male child. I have understood’. Ibn Sinan said, ‘As for you, you shall be Graced with a male child, but he would be dying upon a place or be still-born’. Our companions said to Muhammad Bin Sinan, ‘You have been offensive. We know which you know’. A slave came in the Masjid. He said, ‘Come, your wife is dying’. I went quickly and found her overlooking upon the death. Then it was not long before she gave birth to a stillborn male child’’. [117]
