Hadith 457
۞
H 242 - It is narrated from the same chains from Ali from those who narrated it that he said
“A son was born for me. I wrote a letter to the Master of the Age, seeking permission to perform his circumcision on the seventh day. Reply came saying not to do it. My son died on the seventh or eighth day. Then I wrote to our Master about his death. The answer came: You will sire another and another son. He named the first as Ahmad and the other Ja’far. They were born as the Imam had predicted.
242- وبهذا الاسناد، عن علي، عمن حدثه قال
ولد لي مولود فكتبت أستأذن في تطهيره(في) اليوم السابع، فورد لا تفعل، فمات اليوم السابع أو الثامن، ثم كتبت بموته فورد سيخلف الله غيره وتسميه أحمد ومن بعد أحمد جعفر، فجاء كما قال.
