Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Asr prayer. When he was in the fourth rak'ah, Hasan and Husayn came and rode on the back of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concluded with the salam, he stood them both in front of him. Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) came forward, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted him up; Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) sat on the right shoulder of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) sat on his left shoulder. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Shall I not tell you of the best of people with regard to maternal grandfather and grandmother? Shall I not tell you of the one who is best with regard to paternal uncle and paternal aunt? Shall I not tell you of the one who is the best of people with regard to maternal uncle and maternal aunt? Shall I not tell you of the one who is the best of people with regard to mother and father? They are the two, Hasan and Husayn. Their grandfather is the Messenger of Allah, their grandmother is Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, their mother is Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, their father is Ali bin Abi Talib, their paternal uncle is Ja'far bin Abi Talib, their paternal aunt is Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib, their maternal uncle is Qasim, the son of the Messenger of Allah, and their maternal aunts are Zaynab, Ruqayyah and Umm Kulthum, the daughters of the Messenger of Allah. Their grandfather will be in Paradise, their father will be in Paradise, their mother will be in Paradise, their paternal uncle will be in Paradise, their paternal aunt will be in Paradise, their maternal aunts will be in Paradise, they themselves will be in Paradise, and whoever loves them will also be in Paradise."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. The chains of both contain a narrator, Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Umar bin Yunus al-Yamami, and he is matruk (abandoned).
