[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was speaking to us one day, and Al-Hasan ibn Ali was in his room. He would turn to his companions and talk to them, then he would turn to Al-Hasan and kiss him. Then he said, "Indeed, my son here is a leader. If he lives, he will reconcile between two groups of Muslims."  

أحمد:٢٠٤٧٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُنَا يَوْمًا وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فِي حِجْرِهِ فَيُقْبِلُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَيُحَدِّثُهُمْ ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ فَيُقَبِّلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا لَسَيِّدٌ إِنْ يَعِشْ يُصْلِحْ بَيْنَ طَائِفَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
