[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit, and Al-Hasan ibn Ali was with him to his side, while he was turning towards the people sometimes and towards him sometimes, and he said, 'Verily, this son of mine is a leader, and perhaps Allah will reconcile through him between two groups of Muslims.' Sufyan said, 'The saying of two groups of Muslims greatly pleases us.'"  

البيهقي:١٦٧٠٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَا ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ أَبُو مُوسَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ يَقُولُ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَالْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ مَعَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ مَرَّةً وَإِلَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَلَعَلَّ اللهَ يُصْلِحُ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَوْلُ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُعْجِبُنَا جِدًّا  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ 16710 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ وَآدَمُ قَالَا ثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ زَادَ آدَمُ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَلَمَّا وَلِيَ يَعْنِي الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ مَا أُهَرِيقَ فِي سَبَبِهِ مِحْجَمَةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ
