Sayyiduna Uqbah bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: I saw Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) carrying Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he was saying: "May my father be sacrificed for you! He resembles the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he does not resemble Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)," while Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him and was smiling (on hearing this).
