Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When I see Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), tears flow from my eyes. The reason is that one day the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out while I was in the mosque. He took my hand, and I walked with him. He did not speak to me until we reached the market of Banu Qaynuqa'. He walked around there and looked here and there, then returned, and I was with him until we reached the mosque. There, he sat down with his knees drawn up and said: "Where is the little child? Call the little one to me." So Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) came running, fell into his lap, and began to put his hand in his beard. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) opened his mouth and put Hasan's mouth into his own mouth, then said: "O Allah! I love him, so love him, and love the one who loves him."

Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting on his shoulder. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: “O Allah! I love him, so You also love him.”

Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would take me and Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and say: "O Allah! I love both of them, so You also love them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever wants to see a man of Paradise and be pleased, let him look at Husayn bin Ali."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while Hasan and Husayn were with him, one on each shoulder. He would kiss one and then kiss the other, until he reached us. A man said to him: "Do you love them?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Whoever loves them, loves me, and whoever bears enmity towards them, bears enmity towards me."

Abdur Rahman bin Abu Nu'm says that a man asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the garment that gets stained with the blood of a mosquito, and I was also sitting there. He (Ibn Umar) said: "Where are you from?" He replied: "From Iraq." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Look at this man, he asks about the blood of a mosquito? (These people are so oppressive that) they martyred the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed, Hasan and Husayn are my fragrant flowers from this world.'"

Khalid bin Ma'dan says that Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Ma'dikarib and Sayyiduna Amr bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with them) went to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Miqdad: "Do you know that Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) has passed away?" He «إِنَّا لِلَّـهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» said. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: "Do you consider this news a trial?" He said: "Why should I not consider this incident a trial and test, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Hasan in his lap and said: 'Hasan is from me and Husayn is from Ali.'"

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hasan and Husayn will be the leaders of the youth of Paradise." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib, Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab, Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar, Sayyiduna Bara' ibn Azib, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Abdullah, and Sayyiduna Qura ibn Iyas (may Allah be pleased with them).

Ya'la ibn Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. May Allah love the one who loves Husayn. Husayn is an ummah among the ummahs."
