Is it accurate that Imam Ali (a) had a son named by Umar ibn Khattab during his caliphate, as stated in Siyar A'laamin Nubala by Imam Dhahabi, volume 4, page 134? Are there other historical sources that verify this claim, or is it considered fabricated?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is untrue. Imam Ali (AS) never gave any of his sons the  name of Umar Ibn Khattab.

We have narrations that one of his sons was called Amr عمرو not Umar عمر . Amr عمرو  is a different name.

Regarding Sahih Muslim 2408, which states that Umar denied the Prophet's order, and another hadith in Sahih Muslim 3175, I have doubts about these narrations. Can you provide clarity on their authenticity and whether they are considered true?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. Hadeeth 2408 in Saheeh Muslim is authentic according to main Sunni scholars of Hadeeth like Shu'aib al-Arna'oot who stared and confirmed that this Hadeeth is Saheeh ( Authentic) (Takhreej al-Musnad, 17 /170). This Hadeeth is narrated in many other Sunni books of Hadeeth and states the order of the Prophet (SAWA) to follow Quran and Ahlul Bayt (AS) to be on the right path of Islam, but it was been ignored by many Muslims because of political reasons.

2. Hadeeth 3175 in Saheeh Muslim is narrated from Ayesha and it claims that the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) was inflicted by black magic. This is against Quran which stated that the Prophet is protected by Allah. This false claim is same the enemies of the Prophet said to the believers (You are following a man who has been inflicted by black magic. (Sura Al-Furqan, verse 8).

No doubt, this narration is false and can never be true.

Are the hadiths from Sahih Muslim 2408, where Umar contradicts the Prophet's order, and Sahih Muslim 3175, where Aisha claims the Prophet was bewitched, authentic or false?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The narration claiming that the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) was bewitched is definitely false allegation on the Prophet. You read in Sura Furqan, verse 8 : : The wrongdoers say (to the believers) : You are following non but a bewitched man.

'This is a clear evidence against this false allegation.

Umar contradicting the Prophet (SAWA) has been narrated in many authentic narrations in Sunni books.
