Hadith 201
۞
6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Jumhur from his father from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from ibn al-Sakuni who has said the following
“I once went to visit Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), who found me sad and depressed. He (the Imam) then asked, ‘O Sakuni, what has made you so depressed?’ I replied, ‘Aminah (a daughter) is born to me.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O Sakuni, the earth carries her weight and Allah grants her sustenance. She lives in a lifetime which is other than your lifetime (her lifetime does not reduce your lifetime) and she eats from a sustenance which is other than your sustenance’ - he (the Imam) by Allah removed my depression- and asked, ‘What name have you given to her?’ I replied, ‘It is Fatima.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Ah! Ah! (It is an expression and reminder of one’s nostalgia). He (the Imam) then placed his hand over his forehead, then stated this Hadith. The Messenger of Allah (s.w) has said, “Of the rights of a son on his father is to respect and honor his mother, give him a good name, teach him the book of Allah, cleanse him (by circumcision) and teach him swimming. If it is a girl, he must respect her mother, give her a good name, teach her Chapter twenty-four of the Quran, not Chapter twelve, he must not lodge her in chambers, and send her very early to the house of her husband. Since you have named her Fatima, you must not abuse, condemn or subject her to physical abuse.’”
