"عَنْ أَبِى بَكْرَةَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يُصَلِّى بِالنَّاسِ، فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَثَبَ الحَسنُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ أَوْ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ، فَرَفَعَ رَأسَهُ فَيَضَعُهُ وَضْعًا رَفِيقًا لئَلَّا يُصْرَعَ، فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ضَمَّهُ وَجَعَلَهُ بِقَلبِهِ، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله: إِنَّكَ لَتَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا شَيْئًا مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ تَفْعَلُهُ بِأحَدٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنِى هَذَا رَيْحَانَتى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَإِنَّ ابْنِى هَذَا سيِّدٌ وَسَيُصْلِحُ الله بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform prayer, and when he would prostrate, Al-Hasan would jump onto his back and cling to his neck. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would then lift his head gently so that he would not be harmed. He did this more than once. After he finished his prayer, the people said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, we saw you doing something with Al-Hasan that we have never seen you do before." He replied, "Indeed, he is my sweet basil from this world, and surely, this son of mine is a leader. May Allah reconcile through him between two factions of the Muslims."  

أحمد:٢٠٥١٦حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكَرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَثَبَ الْحَسَنُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ وَعَلَى عُنُقِهِ فَيَرْفَعُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَفْعًا رَفِيقًا لِئَلَّا يُصْرَعَ قَالَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ صَنَعْتَ بالْحَسَنِ شَيْئًا مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ صَنَعْتَهُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ رَيْحَانَتِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَعَسَى اللهُ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ  

ahmad:20448Hāshim > al-Mubārak > al-Ḥasan > Abū Bakarah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to lead the people in prayer, and Hassan ibn Ali would climb on his back when he prostrated. He did this more than once, so they said to him, "By Allah, you do something that we have not seen you do to anyone else." Al-Mubarak said that he mentioned something and then said, "Indeed, this son of mine is a leader, and Allah will reconcile through him between two factions of the Muslims." Hassan said, "By Allah, after he becomes a leader, not even a drop of blood will be shed in his caliphate."  

أحمد:٢٠٤٤٨حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكَرَةَ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ يَثِبُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ وَاللهِ إِنَّكَ لَتَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا شَيْئًا مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ تَفْعَلُهُ بِأَحَدٍ قَالَ الْمُبَارَكُ فَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِيهَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَسَيُصْلِحُ اللهُ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَوَاللهِ وَاللهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ وَلِيَ لَمْ يُهْرَقْ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ مِلْءُ مِحْجَمَةٍ مِنْ دَمٍ
