باب فَضَائِلِ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا:Chapter: The Virtues Of Al-Hasan And Al-Husain (RA)
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيُّ الْيَمَامِيُّ ، وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " لَقَدْ قُدْتُ بِنَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْحَسَنِ ، وَالْحُسَيْنِ ، بَغْلَتَهُ الشَّهْبَاءَ ، حَتَّى أَدْخَلْتُهُمْ حُجْرَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، هَذَا قُدَّامَهُ ، وَهَذَا خَلْفَهُ " .
Iyas reported on the authority of his father: I (had the honour of) leading the white mule on which rode Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and with him were Hasan and Husain, till it reached the apartment of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . The one amongst them was seated before him and the other one was seated behind him.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
If the riding animal is strong, then more than one person can ride on it, and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had both of them seated in front of and behind him out of affection and love.
In these ahadith, there is mention of love for Hasan (radi Allahu anhu), not for Husayn (radi Allahu anhu), but the Shi'a focus all their emphasis on love and affection for Husayn (radi Allahu anhu), from which it is evident that these are people of desires who are far removed from the requirements of the religion.
