I was with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in one of the Markets of Medina. He left (the market) and so did I. Then he asked thrice, "Where is the small (child)?" Then he said, "Call Al-Hasan bin ʿAli." So Al-Hasan bin ʿAli got up and started walking with a necklace (of beads) around his neck. The Prophet ﷺ stretched his hand out like this, and Al-Hasan did the same. The Prophet ﷺ embraced him and said, "0 Allah! l love him, so please love him and love those who love him." Since Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that. nothing has been dearer to me than Al-Hasan.  

البخاري:٥٨٨٤ – حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in one of the markets of the city. He turned around and I turned with him. He said, "Call Hassan ibn Ali." So, Hassan came walking, and he had a cloak around his neck. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Like this, with his hand." So, Hassan did it with his hand like that, and the Prophet ﷺ took hold of it and said, "O Allah, I love him, so love him and love those who love him." Abu Hurairah said, "No one was more beloved to me after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than Hassan ibn Ali, after what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said."
