Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One night I stayed at the home of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw someone with him. He asked me: "Did you see him?" I replied: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is an angel who has never descended to the earth since I was sent. He came to me last night and gave me the glad tidings that Hasan and Husayn are the leaders of the youth of the people of Paradise." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
Al-Tirmidhi recorded it in abridged form.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Abu Umar al-Ashja'i, or perhaps Abu Amrah, and I do not know him. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
