Birth and Family Life
According to Shia and Sunni sources, Muhammad, upon the birth of his grandson in 3 AH, was ordered by the archangel Gabriel to name him Hasan - a name not used in the pre-Islamic period. Muhammad also honoured his grandson by reciting the Adhān in his right ear, the Iqāmah in his left ear, shaving his head, and sacrificing a ram for the sake of his birth.
He married nine women:
- Um Kulthum bint Alfadhl bin Al-Abbas bin Abdulmuttalib bin Hashim
- Khawla bint Mandhoor bin Zaban bin Syar bin Amro
- Um Basheer bint Abi Mas'ud
- Ju'da bint Al-Ash'ath bin Qays Ma'di Karb Alkindi
- Um Ishaq bint Talha bin Ubaydillah bin Uthman Al-Taymi
- Zainab bint Sabee' bin Abdullah
- Baqliya
- Dhamya'
- Safia

Nor our trew Love shall never twain

An’ if I kiss thy com’ly mouth
Thy life days will not be long.”
