Naming the child Ḥamzah

Shaykh Maḥmūd Kurdī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه once presented his salām at the shrine of Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. He goes on to say, “I heard Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ replied to the salām with a loud voice from within his grave, and said, ‘Shaykh Maḥmūd! A son will be born in your home. Name him Ḥamzah.’” Shaykh Maḥmūd رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه says, “Allah then blessed me with a son, so I named him Ḥamzah.”^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! Dear Islamic brothers! What grand status Sayyidunā Ḥamzah has - رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. One miracle is his replying to the salām of Shaykh Maḥmūd, the second is knowing the shaykh’s wife was expecting a child, and the third is him knowing she would give birth to a boy!
