Names of Hazart Ali(R.A) Sons And Daughters

Asalaamu Alai Kum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakatuhu;

A person names his sons and daughters after his heroes not after his enemies for example no one would name his children like Satan , pharaoh etc. If my hero is Hazart Ali I would name one of my sons after him.
Well the same thing was done by Hazart Ali. I am not saying he named his sons after his heroes but he could have given them different names if he didn't like Hazrat Umer,Abu Bakar and Usman. Following are names of Hazart Ali's (R.A) sons and daughters

THE GENERATION, WHICH WILL NOT COME BACK AGAIN

Entering the presence of Hazrat Umar(RA) the two men stood in front of a man and pointing him with a finger they said to Hazrat Umar(RA) that that was the man. Hazrat Umar(RA) asked what he had done. They said to the leader of the believers that he had killed their father. Hazrat Umar(RA) addressed and asked him if he had killed their father. He replied in affirmative that their father had been killed by him. Hazrat Umar(RA) asked him how he killed him. He told Hazrat Umar(RA) that their father entered his field with his camal. He forbade him from that but he didn't listen. He threw a stone on him which hit his head and he died on the spot.

Hazrat Umar(RA) said that there would be compensation for it. Its punishment was death without writing any decision and decision was so inevitable that there was no room for discussion. Neither he was asked from which noble family did he belong to nor how much respectable his tribe was. Neither status nor ran in the society was discussed. Hazrat Umar(RA) had nothing to do with these things because when the matter was related to faith of Allah or implementation of Shariah, no body could influence Hazrat Umar(RA). Even if his own son had been in front of him as a murderer, he would have been punished.

He pleaded with the leaders of the believers to send him back to his wife and off springs to let them know about his murder. In the name of the Allah who governs earth and sky, he said that they had no support except him and Allah and he would be back after that.Hazrat Umar(RA) asked who would give his guarantee whether he would come back from the desert or not.

Everyone was silent in the meeting, nobody knew about his tribe, tent or house etc. Who would give his guarantee.This was not the matter of loan of ten dirham or a patch of land or the guarantee of the deal of any camel. The matter was of the guarantee of a neck that was to be killed with a sword and there was nobody who could object before Hazrat Umar(RA) on the matter of the implementation of the Shariah of Allah or could stand for the guarantee of that man and nobody could think of his recommendation.

Silence prevailed over all the Holy companions. Even Hazrat Umar(RA) was disturbed with the situation because condition of the man perplexed everyone. Whether he should really be killed in compensation or his children should be allowed to die with starvation or he should be sent back without bail, if he didn't come back the murdered blood would be useless.

Hazrat Umar(RA) himself was perturbed and how his head over the situation. He looked towards the young men pleading to forgive him. They said to Hazrat Umar(RA) that they couldn't forgive the killer of their father at any cost. They gave their decesion without any hesitation. Hazrat Umar(RA) looked towards the gathering again and asked whether anybody would give his bail. Abu Zar Gafori full of devotion and truth and old age stood and told that he would give his guarantee.

Hazrat Umar(RA) reminded Abu Zar that would be killed if the killer doesn't come back. Abu Zar told that he would stand by his decesion. Hazrat Umar(RA) asked him if he knew the killer he replied in negative. Hazrat Umar(RA) asked how he could give his bail. Abu Zar said that he had seen the qualities of true believers on his face and it seemed that he was not telling a lie. InshAllah he would be back. Hazrat Umar(RA) told Abu Zar if he was not back, he would have to face the shock of his reparation. Abu Zar firmly answered the leader of believers that Allah holds everything. After taking leisure from Hazrat Umar(RA) for some essential preparations, to say goodbye to his family and come back for his murder in punishment he departured.Hazrat Umar(RA) couldn't forget that matter after 3 nights he had spent every moment uneasily.

Announcement was made at the time of Asar Prayer. The young men were uneasy for the punishment of their father's murder.People gathered to see the implementation of Shariah. Abu Zar also came and sat in front of Hazrat Umar(RA). Hazrat Umar(RA) asked about the man that where he was. Abu Zar replied Hazrat Umar(RA) shortly that he didn't know.Abu Zar looked towards the sky where the sun was hurriedly declining. Everyone was silent. No body knew except Allah what was about to be done.It was true that Abu Zar was very close to Hazrat Umar(RA). If Umar was asked to give a part of body to Abu Zar he wouldn't delay to cut it and give it to Abu Zar. But the matter was of Shariah, the fulfillment of Heavenly orders not a game. Nobody's grade was to be measured. not according to the incidents and situations and even time or place to be interrupted. If the killer hadn't come, the surety would have been hanged.

The required person appeared a few moments before Magrib. Hazrat Umar(RA) utters spontaneosly Allah is great. The whole gathering also raised the slogan of Allah. Umar addressed him if he hadn't come back they would not have gone after searching for him because nobody knew about him and his house. He sweared that it was not him but Allah knows everything. Nothing is hidden from him. He said that he had returned leaving his children like small baby birds alone in the desert where there was neither shade of tree nor any sign of water, He was ready to be killed. He has returned just because people don't think nobody keeps promise these days. Hazrat Umar(RA) asked Abu Zar why he had given his assurity. Abu zar replied that he was afraid people might say there is no kindness in people these days. Hazrat Umar(RA) paused for a moment and then asked the two young men what they demanded. The young men replied weeping that they forgave him for his truth so that nobody could clain that no forgiveness survived in people.

Hazrat Umar(RA) stood up saying saying Allah is great and his tears were falling wetting his beard. Hazrat Umar(RA) prayed for them that God might bless them for their passion of forgiveness and prayed for Abu Zar that Allah might bless him for helping him in this problem and prayed for his truth and wished for him heavenly blessings for his justice and tolerance.

One of the relaters say that he swears by Him who holds his life the qualities of Islam and Faith were buried with Hazrat Umar's coffin.
