[Machine] The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take me and sit me on his thigh, and he would sit Al-Hasan ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on his other thigh.

أحمد:٢١٧٨٧حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا تَمِيمَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ يُحَدِّثُهُ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ

كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْخُذُنِي فَيُقْعِدُنِي عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَيُقْعِدُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْأُخْرَى ثُمَّ يَضُمُّنَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُمَا فَإِنِّي أَرْحَمُهُمَا
