[Machine] I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and al-Hasan and al-Husayn were playing in front of him and in his chamber. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you love them?" He said, "And how can I not love them, when they are my two fragrant flowers in this worldly life and I smell them."

"عنْ سَعْدِ بنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ والْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ يَلْعَبانِ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ، فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! أَتُحِبُّهُمَا؟ فَقَالَ: وَمَالِى لَا أُحِبُّهُمَا وَإِنَّهُمَا رَيْحَانَتَاىَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا".
