Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34366 — Reports on al-Hasan and al-Husayn

Abu Muzarrid al-Madini (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: These two eyes of mine saw, and these two ears of mine heard, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding the hand of Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "Climb up, you with eyes as small as a gnat's!" The narrator said: The boy placed his foot on the foot of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted him up and seated him on his chest, and then said: "Open your mouth." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) kissed him and said: "O Allah, I love him, so love him too."
