Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34365 — Reports on al-Hasan and al-Husayn

Sayyiduna al-Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) had Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) carried on his shoulder, and he said: "O Allah, I love him, so love him too." Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Adi (may Allah have mercy on him): "Was that Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Yes."
