127. Sunan Abi Dāwud, narrating from Abu Rāfi‘ who said: “When Fātimah (a.s.) gave birth to Hasan ibn ‘Ali (a.s.), I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) reciting the Adhān in his ear.”¹

128. Imām ‘Ali (a.s.) said: “When the time came for Fātimah to give birth to her child, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said to Asmā' bint ‘Umays and Um Salamah: “Stay with her so that when her baby is delivered and starts to cry, recite the Adhān in its right ear and the Iqāmah in its left ear, for whomever this is done to will be safeguarded from Satan, and then do not do anything until I come.”
When Fātimah delivered the baby, they did what he (s.a.w.) told them, then the Prophet (s.a.w.) came and cut his umbilical cord and put a little bit of his saliva in the newborn’s mouth and said: “O Allah! I seek Your protection for him and his offspring from the vice of the cursed Satan.”²

129. Imām al-Sādiq (a.s.) said, regarding some of what is done to an infant at the time of his birth: “Tell the midwife or anyone who is with her to recite the Adhān in his right ear so that the child would never become insane or followed by a jinn.”³

130. Imām al-Sādiq (a.s.) said, mentioning some of the things to be done to an infant at the time of his birth: “Recite the Adhān in his right ear and the Iqāmah in his left ear. Do this before cutting the umbilical cord, for the child will never be a coward and will not be afflicted by [the sickness of] Umm al-Sibyān.”⁴

127.سنن أبي داود عن أبي رافع: رَأَيتُ رَسولَ الله‏ِ صلی الله علیه وآله أذَّنَ في اُذُنِ الحَسَنِ بنِ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ وَلَدَتهُ فاطِمَةُ بِالصَّلاةِ.¹

128.الإمام عليّ علیه السلام : لَـمّا حَضَرَت وِلادَةُ فاطِمَةَ علیها السلام ، قال رَسولُ الله‏ِ صلی الله علیه وآله لِأسماءَ بِنتِ عُمَيسٍ و اُمِّ سَلَمَةَ: اِحضَراها، فإِذا وَقَعَ وَلَدُها واستَهَلَّ فَأَذِّنا في اُذُنِهِ اليُمنى وأَقِيما في اُذُنِهِ اليُسرى؛ فَإِنَّهُ لا يُفعَلُ ذلِكَ بِمِثلِهِ إلّا عُصِمَ مِنَ الشَّيطانِ، و لا تُحدِثا شَيئا حَتّى آتِيَكُما.
فَلَمَّا وَلَدَت فَعَلَتا ذلِكَ، فَأتاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلی الله علیه وآله فَسَرَّهُ وَ لَبَّأهُ² بِريقِهِ، و قالَ: اللّهُمَّ إنِّي اُعيذُهُ بِكَ و وُلدَهُ مِنَ الشَّيطانِ الرَّجيمِ.³

129.الإمام الصادق علیه السلام ـ فيما يُفعَلُ بِالمَولودِ إذا وُلِدَ ـ: مُرُوا القابِلَةَ أو بَعضَ مَن يَليهِ أن تُقيمَ الصَّلاةَ في اُذُنِهِ اليُمنى؛ فَلا يُصيبُهُ لَمَمٌ⁴ و لا تابِعَةٌ⁵ أبَداً.⁶

130.عنه علیه السلام ـ أيضا ـ: و أذِّن في اُذُنِهِ اليُمنى و أقِم فِي اليُسرى، تَفعَلُ بِهِ ذلِكَ قَبلَ أن تَقطَعَ سُرَّتَهُ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لا يَفزَعُ أبَداً، و لا تُصيبُهُ اُمُّ الصِّبيانِ.⁷
