A child should never call his parents by their first names. He should not walk
ahead of them or sit before they do. A person went to the Holy Prophet ( SAW)
and said: What is the right of my child?
* The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “Choose a good name for him. Teach him good
manners, and prepare him for a bright future.”
*The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “A good child is a source of happiness for man.”
*The Holy Prophet (SAW) also said: “A child for his father is as a flower sent
by God, with good smell. Surely Hassan and Hussein are my flower whom I have
named after two tribes of Bani Israel, Shabr and Shubair.”
*Fazl Ibne abi Qareh ha reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS) : “The
Holy Prophet (SAW) has said: Once Jesus (AS) passed by the grave of a man who
was in torment. The following year when Jesus passed by the same grave, he
noticed that the torment had been removed. He said: O Lord! last year when I
was passing by the grave of this man, he was in torment but he is not now! God
said: A good child has been left of him who guides people and gives refuge to
orphans. For this reason, I have forgiven him his sins.” Then the Holy
Prophet (SAW) said: “The heritage a believing man leaves for God is a child
who worships God after him.”
* It has been reported on the authority of Holy Prophet (SAW) “Whoever has
four sons but does not name one of them after me has treated me unkindly.”
*Suleiman Ja-afari says: I heard Imam Kazem (AS) saying: “Destituti on never
enters a house in which there are the names of Mohammad, Ahmad, Ali, Hassan,
Hussein, Taleb, Abdullah, or Fatima (among women).
* “Whenever Satan hears someone calling Mohammad or Ali, he will be melted as
lead.” *Imam Reza (AS) says: “Whenever a son is born into our family, we name
him “Mohammad” for a week. After that, we can change the name or keep it.”
*Choose good names for your children, for on the Day of Judgment, you will be
called with the same names, saying: O such and such person rise up to your
light! O such and such person, rise up! You have no light.”
*Mohammad Ibne Yaghoob reports on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS): “When
your wife has gone pregnant for four months, place her in the direction of
Qiblah, give a gentle blow to her side and say: O God! I have named him
Mohammad. In that case God will make him a son. If you keep this name, God
will give him blessing and if he changes the name, God may take or leave him.”
*The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said: “Should anyone having a baby on the way
intends to name him Mohammad or Ali, God will give him a baby boy.”
*Whenever Imam Zainal Abedeen (AS) was informed that a child had been born to
him, he did not ask whether it was a boy or a girl, rather he would say: Is
the infant healthy and without any deformity? If the answer was positive, he
would say; “Praise is due to Allah who did not given me a deformed child.”
*Imam Sadeq (AS) has said: “God will send blessing upon a father who has a
great love of his children.”
*A man said to Imam Sadeq (AS): To whom should I do good? “To your parents.”
He said: They have passed away. The Imam said:“Trea t your children fairly.”
*Imam Sadeq (AS) has also said: “Love the children and have mercy on them and
whenever you give them promise, keep it, for they consider you as provider of
food.” * “Whoever kisses his child, it will be a virtue for him. Whoever makes
his child happy, God will make him happy on the Day of Judgment. And whoever
teaches his son the Holy Quran, parents are called to give them two garments
from whose light, the face of the inhabitant s of paradise will become
bright.”
*A man came to the Holy Prophet (SAW) and said: I have never kissed a child.
When the man went away, the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “This man, in our
opinion, is an inhabitant of Fire.” *One day the Holy Prophet saw a man from
ansar ( Helpers) kissing one child and leaving the other, so he said: “Why
don’t you observe equity between them?”
*A man said: I went to Imam Moosa Kazeem [as]compla ining of my child. The
Imam said: “Don’t beat him rather don’t speak to him for some time but let it
not be too long.”
*The Holy Prophet (SAW) drew his hand on the head of his children and his
grandchild ren every morning.
