3ـ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ الْكَلْبِيِّ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله يَقُولُ لَمَّا وُلِدَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فُتِحَ لآِمِنَةَ بَيَاضُ فَارِسَ وَقُصُورُ الشَّامِ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَسَدٍ أُمُّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى أَبِي طَالِبٍ ضَاحِكَةً مُسْتَبْشِرَةً فَأَعْلَمَتْهُ مَا قَالَتْ آمِنَةُ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو طَالِبٍ وَتَتَعَجَّبِينَ مِنْ هَذَا إِنَّكِ تَحْبَلِينَ وَتَلِدِينَ بِوَصِيِّهِ وَوَزِيرِهِ.

3. Certain persons of our people have narrated from those he mentioned from ibn Mahbub from ‘Umar ibn Aban al-Kalbi from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following. “I heard abu ‘Abdallah say, ‘When the Messenger of Allah was born the whiteness (houses) of the Persian kingdom and the palaces of Sham (Syria) was shown to Amina, his mother, openly (conquered). Fatima daughter of Asad, mother of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali came to abu Talib laughing with glad news and explained to him what Amina had said. Abu Talib said to her, “Has it surprised you so much? You will conceive a child who will be the executor of the will and the vizier of this new born.”
