Context
IT IS MUSTAḤABB to congratulate a person to whom a child is born. Our [Shāfi‘ī] colleagues say it is mustaḥabb to congratulate him in the way that has been reported from al-Ḥusayn 
. He said that he taught a man to say: “May Allah bless you in what has been granted to you, and may you thank the Giver. May he reach maturity and may you be granted kind treatment by him.”
