It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Yarbu' Makhzumi (may Allah be pleased with him) that his name was Sarm. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) named him Sa'id. 'Umar bin 'Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw Sayyiduna 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting in the mosque, leaning back.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) was born, I named him Harb. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son, what have you named him?" We said: Harb. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Rather, he is Hasan." Then when Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was born, I named him Harb. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son, what have you named him?" We said: We have named him Harb. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Rather, his name is Husayn." When the third son was born, I named him Harb. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son, what have you named him?" We said: Harb. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "No, his name is Muhsin." Then he said: "I have named them after the sons of Harun (peace be upon him). Their names were Shabbar, Shabbir, and Mushabbir."
