Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34355 — Reports on al-Hasan and al-Husayn

Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One night I came and knocked at the door of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for some need. He (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to me, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had something wrapped around him, and I did not know what it was. When I had finished with my need, I asked: "What is this that you (peace and blessings be upon him) have wrapped around you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) removed the sheet, and there were Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), who were on his (peace and blessings be upon him) hips. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These two are my sons and the sons of my daughter. O Allah, You know that I love them both, so love them too."
