He was born on 15th Ramadan 3 years after Hijrah in Madinah Munawwara. When he was
born, the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa
Sallam] took him in
his arms, kissed and embraced him. Then he recited the Azaan in his right ear and
Iqamah in his left ear. He then named the child Hasan. No one was ever named
Hassan before him.
Ibn Saad reports from Imraan ibn Sulaimaan who said;
‘Hasan and Husaien are two names from Paradise; none of the
Arabs knew of this name prior to these two in the pagan times; [the period
before Islam]. The Holy Prophet
[Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam]
said he was named Hassan because it was through Divine favour [Ihsaan] that the heavens and earth
stood. Hassan is derived from the word Ihsaan, which means to do good.
His blessed name is ‘Hasan’, Kunyah [patronymic appellation]
is ‘Abu Muhammad’ and his titles are ‘Taqee, Saiyyid, Sibt-e- Rasoolal laah and
Sibt-e-Akbar’. He is also known as the flower of Rasool.
[Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam]
He sacrificed two lambs on his behalf on the
seventh day [performed the Aqiqah] and shaved the newborn’s head. He
instructed that the weight of this hair in silver, to be given away as charity.
And he is among the five, known as the ‘folk of the cloak’ [Ahl al-Kisa’a].
