His father said: "While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on the minbar, Al-Hasan and Al-Husain came,wearing red shirts, walking and stumbling. He came down and picked them up, then said: 'Allah has spoken the truth: Your wealth and your children are only a trial.' I saw these two walking and stumbling in their shirts, and I could not be patient until I went down and picked them up.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1585)   

بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ حَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ وَعَلَيْهِمَا قَمِيصَانِ أَحْمَرَانِ يَمْشِيَانِ وَيَعْثُرَانِ فَنَزَلَ فَحَمَلَهُمَا وَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللهُ {إِنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ} [التغابن 15] إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَذَيْنِ يَمْشِيَانِ وَيَعْثُرَانِ فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ حَتَّى نَزَلْتُ فَحَمَلْتُهُمَا
