حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي مُوسَى وَيُقَالُ لَهُ : إِسْرَائِيلُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
الْحَسَنَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَبَا بَكْرَةَ ، وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً : عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَحَسَنٌ مَعَهُ ، وَهُوَ يُقْبِلُ عَلَى النَّاسِ مَرَّةً وَعَلَيْهِ مَرَّةً ، وَيَقُولُ " إِنَّ
ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ ، وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit and Imam Hasan was with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes turn towards the people and sometimes look at Imam Hasan and say, "This son of mine is a leader, and Allah will bring reconciliation between two groups of Muslims through him."
