O Allah, behold, I love him. Thou too love him and love one who loves him.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِحَسَنٍ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فَأَحِبَّهُ وَأَحْبِبْ مَنْ يُحِبُّهُ  

I went along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ at a time during the day but he did not talk to me and I did not talk to him until he reached the market of Bani Qainuqaʿ. He came back to the tent of Fatima and said: Is the little chap (meaning Hasan) there? We were under the impression that his mother had detained him in order to bathe him and dress him and garland him with a sweet garland. Not much time had passed that he (Hasan) came running until both of them embraced each other, thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Allah, I love him; love him Thou and love one who loves him (Hasan).  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنَ النَّهَارِ لاَ يُكَلِّمُنِي وَلاَ أُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ سُوقَ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ حَتَّى أَتَى خِبَاءَ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ أَثَمَّ لُكَعُ أَثَمَّ لُكَعُ يَعْنِي حَسَنًا فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا تَحْبِسُهُ أُمُّهُ لأَنْ تُغَسِّلَهُ وَتُلْبِسَهُ سِخَابًا فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ يَسْعَى حَتَّى اعْتَنَقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فَأَحِبَّهُ وَأَحْبِبْ مَنْ يُحِبُّهُ  

I saw Hasan b. 'Ali upon the shoulders of Allah's Apostle ﷺ and he was saying: O Allah, I love him, and love him Thou.  

رَأَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى عَاتِقِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فَأَحِبَّهُ  

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with Al-Hasan b. 'Ali placed upon his shoulders and he was saying: O Allah, I love him, and love him Thou.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاضِعًا الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فَأَحِبَّهُ  

I (had the honour of) leading the white mule on which rode Allah's Apostle ﷺ and with him were Hasan and Husain, till it reached the apartment of Allah's Apostle ﷺ. The one amongst them was seated before him and the other one was seated behind him.  

لَقَدْ قُدْتُ بِنَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ بَغْلَتَهُ الشَّهْبَاءَ حَتَّى أَدْخَلْتُهُمْ حُجْرَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَذَا قُدَّامَهُ وَهَذَا خَلْفَهُ
