It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a market of Madinah. When he returned, I also returned with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards the house of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and, calling Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: O child! O little one! O child! No one responded to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he returned, and I also returned with him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went and sat in the house of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I think his mother had held him back to put something like a necklace around his neck. When he came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) embraced him, and he clung to the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) neck. At that moment, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: O Allah! I love him, so You love him too, and love the one who loves him.
