Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2664 — We were sitting around the Prophet ﷺ when

Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were sitting around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when Sayyidah Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) came and said: O Messenger of Allah, Hasan and Husayn are lost. The narrator said: That was in the forenoon, meaning the time when the sun had risen high. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Get up and look for my two sons." The narrator said: Each man set out in his own direction, and I went with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) kept going until he reached the foot of a mountain, and there were Sayyiduna Hasan and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) clinging to each other, and a snake was standing on its tail with something like fire coming out of its mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) hurried towards it, and it turned as if speaking to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then it slithered away and entered a crevice in some rocks. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the two of them, separated them from each other, wiped their faces and said: "May my father and mother be ransomed for you; how honoured you both are before Allah!" Then he lifted one of them onto his right shoulder and the other onto his left shoulder. I said: Glad tidings to you both; what an excellent mount your mount is! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And what excellent riders they are, and their father is better than them both."
