Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34361 — Reports on al-Hasan and al-Husayn

Zuhayr bin al-Aqmar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was delivering a sermon when a very tall, dark-complexioned man from the tribe of Azd stood up and said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) holding him (Sayyiduna al-Hasan) at his waist and saying: 'Whoever loves me should love him, and let the one present convey this to the one absent.'"
