bukhari:3746Ṣadaqah > Ibn ʿUyaynah > Abū Mūsá > al-Ḥasan > Abū Bakrah

I heard the Prophet ﷺ talking at the pulpit while Al-Hasan was sitting beside him, and he (i.e. the Prophet ) was once looking at the people and at another time Al-Hasan, and saying, "This son of mine is a Saiyid (i.e. chief) and perhaps Allah will bring about an agreement between two sects of the Muslims through him."  

البخاري:٣٧٤٦حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ سَمِعَ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَالْحَسَنُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى النَّاسِ مَرَّةً وَإِلَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَيَقُولُ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

bukhari:3629ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad > Yaḥyá b. Ādam > Ḥusayn

Once the Prophet ﷺ brought out Al-Hasan and took him up the pulpit along with him and said, "This son of mine is a Saiyid (i.e. chief) and I hope that Allah will help him bring about reconciliation between two Muslim groups."  

البخاري:٣٦٢٩حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ؓ أَخْرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ الْحَسَنَ فَصَعِدَ بِهِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

When Al-Hasan bin ʿAli moved with army units against Muawiya, ʿAmr bin AL-As said to Muawiya, "I see an army that will not retreat unless and until the opposing army retreats." Muawiya said, "(If the Muslims are killed) who will look after their children?" ʿAmr bin Al-As said: I (will look after them). On that, ʿAbdullah bin 'Amir and ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Samura said, "Let us meet Muawaiya and suggest peace." Al-Hasan Al-Basri added: No doubt, I heard that Abu Bakra said, "Once while the Prophet was addressing (the people), Al-Hasan (bin ʿAli) came and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'This son of mine is a chief, and Allah may make peace between two groups of Muslims through him."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to al-Hasan ibn Ali. This son of mine is a Sayyid (chief), and I hope Allah may reconcile two parties of my community by means of him. Hammad's version has: And perhaps Allah may reconcile two large parties of Muslims by means of him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4662)

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah, blessings be upon him, on the pulpit and Al-Hasan ibn Ali was by his side, looking at the Messenger of Allah, blessings be upon him, with a glance. The Messenger of Allah, blessings be upon him, looked at him with a glance and said, "Verily, my son here is a master, and perhaps Allah will reconcile through him between two groups of Muslims."
