[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one day, and with him were Hasan and Husain. When he prostrated, Hasan came and jumped on his back. Whenever the Prophet raised his head, he moved him with dislike so he wouldn't fall. When he finished, he took him by the hand and sat him in his lap. He kissed him and said, "This son of mine is a leader, and he is my fragrant flower in this world. I hope that Allah will reconcile through him between two groups of Muslims, who are both great."  

الطبراني:٢٥٩٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَمَعَهُ حَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ أَتَى الْحَسَنُ فَوَثَبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ حَرَّفَهُ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَسْقُطَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَأَجْلَسَهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَإِنَّهُ رَيْحَانَتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يُصْلِحَ اللهُ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ»
