الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ هَنَّأَ بِحَضْرَتِهِ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا بِغُلَامٍ وُلِدَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ لِيَهْنِئْكَ الْفَارِسُ فَقَالَ [عليه السلام] لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنْ قُلْ شَكَرْتَ الْوَاهِبَ وَ بُورِكَ لَكَ فِى الْمَوْهُوبِ وَ بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَ رُزِقْتَ بِرَّهُ

Imam Ali (as):

A man congratulated another on the birth of a son in ʿAlī’s presence, saying, ⟨May the warrior bring you joy!⟩ ʿAlī rebuked him: Don’t say that! Say instead: May you thank your divine benefactor, may his heavenly grace encompass this child who is his gift, may the child grow to full strength, and may you be blessed with his devotion!

الإمام السّجاد (عليه السَّلام):

وَ أَمَّا حَقُّ وَلَدِكَ فَأَنْ تَعْلَم‏ …ِ وَ أَنَّكَ مَسْئُولٌ عَمَّا وُلِّيتَهُ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْأَدَبِ وَ الدَّلَالَةِ عَلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْمَعُونَةِ له عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ فَاعْمَلْ فِي أَمْرِهِ عَمَلَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ مُثَابٌ عَلَى الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاقَبٌ عَلَى الْإِسَاءَةِ إِلَيْه .‏

Imam al-Sajjad (as):

The right of your child is that you should know that you are responsible for what has been assigned to you regarding him, that is teaching him good manners, guiding him towards his Lord, and helping him in His obedience, so deal with him like the one who knows that he will be rewarded for doing good to him, and punished for mistreating him.
