8. We were told by Hussain bin Muhammed bin Yahya al-Alawi, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said
I was told by my grandfather, that he said: I was told by Ahmad bin Saleh al-Tamimi, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Isa, from Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, peace be upon them both, that he said: Jibra’eel, peace be upon him, gifted to the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, the name of Hasan bin Ali in a cloth of silk from the clothes of Paradise, and he derived the name of Hussain from Hasan, peace be upon them both.
حدثنا الحسين بن محمد بن يحيى العلوي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثني جدي قال: حدثني أحمد بن صالح التميمي، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن عيسى، عن جعفر بن محمد عن أبيه عليهما السلام قال
أهدى جبرئيل عليه السلام إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله اسم الحسن بن علي في خرقة من حرير من ثياب الجنة واشتق اسم الحسين من الحسن عليهما السلام.
