Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the pulpit, and with him was Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was saying: "This son of mine is a leader, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will soon bring reconciliation between two great groups of Muslims through him."
