Description:
Ibn Maghazili Shafi'i also narrates the birth of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) from Imam Zain al-Abidin (peace be upon him) as follows:
"Abu Tahir Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Muhammad al-Bay' narrated to us, saying: Abu Abdullah Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Khalid al-Katib informed us, who said: Ahmad ibn Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Salim al-Khatli narrated to me, who said: Umar ibn Ahmad ibn Ruh narrated to me, who said: Abu Tahir Yahya ibn al-Hasan al-Alawi narrated to me, who said: Muhammad ibn Sa'id al-Darimi narrated to us, who said: Musa ibn Ja'far narrated to us, from his father, from Muhammad ibn Ali, from his father, Ali ibn Husayn, who said: I was sitting with my father while we were visiting the grave of our grandfather, peace be upon him. There were many women there, and one of them approached us. I said to her: 'Who are you, may God have mercy on you?' She replied: 'I am Zaydah, the daughter of Quraibah, the daughter of 'Ajlan, from the tribe of Banu Sa'dah.' I asked her: 'Do you have anything to tell us?' She said: 'Yes, by God, my mother, Umm al-'Arah, daughter of Ubadah ibn Nadhlah ibn Malik ibn 'Ajlan al-Sa'di, told me that one day she was with the women of the Arabs when Abu Talib came, sad and grieving. I said to him: 'What has happened to you, O Abu Talib?' He replied: 'Fatimah bint Asad is in the severe pains of childbirth.' Then he placed his hands on his face. While this was happening, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came and said: 'What is the matter, O uncle?' Abu Talib replied: 'Fatimah bint Asad is suffering greatly from the pains of childbirth.' The Prophet took his hand and, with Abu Talib holding Fatimah bint Asad's hand, they went to the Ka'bah. He made her sit inside the Ka'bah and said: 'Sit by the name of God!' She then gave birth to a cheerful, clean, and pure son. I have never seen a face more beautiful than his. Abu Talib named him Ali, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) carried him until he reached her home. Imam Ali ibn Husayn (peace be upon him) said: 'By God, I have never heard anything more beautiful than this.'"
