It is narrated from Uqbah bin Harith, he says: A few nights after the passing of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), one day after the Asr prayer, I went out with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was also walking alongside him. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), who was playing with the children. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) lifted him onto his neck and said: "Bravo! May my father be sacrificed for him, he resembles the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he does not resemble his father Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) smiled.
