11. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ya‘qub al-Sarraj who has said the following.
“Once I went to see abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who was standing by the cradle of abu al-Hassan. He began to speak secretly to him for a long time. I sat there until he was free. I then stood for him and he said to me, “Come close to your Mawla (master and Leader with Divine Authority).” I went close and said greetings. He answered my greetings very clearly and then he said to me, “Go and change the name of your daughter that you named just yesterday. It is a name makes Allah angry.” A girl was born to us and I had named her al-Humayra’.” Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) said to me, “Follow his command you will have the right guidance.” I then changed her name.”
11ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ السَّرَّاجِ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى وَهُوَ فِي الْمَهْدِ فَجَعَلَ يُسَارُّهُ طَوِيلاً فَجَلَسْتُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي ادْنُ مِنْ مَوْلاكَ فَسَلِّمْ فَدَنَوْتُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلامَ بِلِسَانٍ فَصِيحٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ اذْهَبْ فَغَيِّرِ اسْمَ ابْنَتِكَ الَّتِي سَمَّيْتَهَا أَمْسِ فَإِنَّهُ اسْمٌ يُبْغِضُهُ الله وَكَانَ وُلِدَتْ لِيَ ابْنَةٌ سَمَّيْتُهَا بِالْحُمَيْرَاءِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) انْتَهِ إِلَى أَمْرِهِ تُرْشَدْ فَغَيَّرْتُ اسْمَهَا.
