Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ya‘qub al-Sarraj who has said the following. “Once I went to see abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who was standing by the cradle of abu al-Hassan. He began to speak secretly to him for a long time. I sat there until he was free. I then stood for him and he said to me, “Come close to your Mawla (master and Leader with Divine Authority).” I went close and said greetings.

He answered my greetings very clearly and then he said to me, “Go and change the name of your daughter that you named just yesterday.

It is a name makes Allah angry.” A girl was born to us and I had named her al-Humayra’.” Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) said to me, “Follow his command you will have the right guidance.” I then changed her name.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/336))
