The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “Among the happiness of a man is to have a righteous child.”[^20] 19. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “A righteous child is indeed a flower from the flowers of Paradise.”[^21] 20. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “A righteous child is a flower that Allah has distributed among His creation, and verily my two flowers in this world are Hasan and Husayn. I named them from the names of two children of Bani Isra’il, Shubbar and Shubair.”[^22] [^23] 21.

The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “From the blessings of Allah upon a man is that his child looks like him.”[^24] 22. al-Kafi , narrating from Muhammad ibn Sanan, from someone who narrated to him that if ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn [Imam al-Sajjad] (a.s.) was given glad tidings about [the birth of] a child, he did not ask whether it was a boy or a girl rather he would ask: “Is it healthy?” If it was healthy, he would say: “Praise be only to Allah who did not create anything unhealthy from me.”[^25] 23.

Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) said: “From among the signs of a man’s happiness is that his son may be similar to him in body, morals and behaviour.”[^26] فَضلُ الوَلَدِ الصّالِحِ‏ .18رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: مِن سَعادَةِ الرَّجُلِ الوَلَدُ الصّالِحُ. .19عنه صلى الله عليه وآله: إنَّ الوَلَدَ الصّالِحَ رَيحانَةٌ مِن رَياحينِ الجَنَّةِ.
