Description:
Bassawi, in his "Muhadharat al-Awwal", writes about some of the titles of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and his birth in the Ka'bah:
"The first companion to be given the name 'Lion' in his childhood among the noble companions of Islam was our master, Ali ibn Abi Talib. He was called Haydar, one of the names of a lion. His father was absent when he was born in the Ka'bah, and his mother, Fatimah bint Asad, named him after his father, Asad, as a gesture of optimism. He was one of the prominent members of the Banu Hashim. She was the first Hashemite woman to give birth to a Hashemite child. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was the closest caliph to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in terms of lineage, being the cousin of the Prophet and the husband of his best daughter."
