The following is a response to Syed Hasni's article entitled "Birth of Imam Ali in Kaaba." The article was translated and published on SlaveOfAhlubait's blog, on the 24th of March, 2011, and can be found here.
Syed Hasni, in this article, sets out to establish the opinion that Ali was born in the Ka'aba, while at the same time refuting the idea that Hakeem bin Hizam was born there.
1- Did the Scholars say that Hakeem bin Hizam was Not born in the Ka'aba?
Syed Hasni provides twelve quotes in order to establish his points, then suggests that:
there is none other who was born in kaaba apart from imam ali asws; as for hakim bin hazim, it is a story created by nawasib so that the glory of imam ali asws can be nullified; though great sunni scholars have negated it.
However, when we look through the sources provided by Syed Hasni, we find that this statement is only said by late scholars who have died in the previous century or the one before it. The earliest person that shared this view was Ibn Sabagh Al-Maliki, who is an infamous 9th century Shi'ee, who has a book proving the Imamate of the twelve Imams. Not only is this opinion rejected because it is the opinion of a Twelver Shia, but also because he is a very late scholar.
The earliest opinions that Syed Hasni quotes are the opinions of Al-Mas'oudi, another Shi'ee, who has a book attributed to him with evidence for the twelve Imams, and Al-Hakim Al-Nisapuri.
Syed Hasni quotes:
masoodi writes in his book
ali was born inside kaaba
We argue that this quote is no sufficient evidence, for Al-Mas'oudi is a fourth century Shi'ee scholar whose opinion does not hold any weight in their school due to the lack of statements that establish his credibility. Moreover, the quote does not suggest that Ali was the only person born in the ka'aba. It does not negate that the same may have been the case with Hakeem bin Hizam.
