811 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ أَبُو مُوسَي، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَي الْمِنْبَرِ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مَعَهُ إِلَي جَنْبِهِ، وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَي النَّاسِ مَرَّةً وَإِلَيْهِ مَرَّةً، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ، وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»
Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit. Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him, at his side. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes turn towards the people and sometimes turn towards Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was saying: "This son of mine is a leader. Allah, the Exalted, will bring reconciliation between two great groups of Muslims because of him."
