Abu Huraira reported: I went along with Allalh’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) at a time during the day but he did not talk to me and I did not talk to him until he reached Bazar of Banfi Qainuqal. 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 Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: O Allah, I love him; love him Thou and love one who loves him (Hasan).
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا ابن أبي عمر، حدثنا سفيان، عن عبيد الله بن أبي يزيد، عن نافع بن جبير، بن مطعم عن أبي هريرة، قال خرجت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في طائفة من النهار لا يكلمني ولا أكلمه حتى جاء سوق بني قينقاع ثم انصرف حتى أتى خباء فاطمة فقال ” أثم لكع أثم لكع ” . يعني حسنا فظننا أنه إنما تحبسه أمه لأن تغسله وتلبسه سخابا فلم يلبث أن جاء يسعى حتى اعتنق كل واحد منهما صاحبه فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ” اللهم إني أحبه فأحبه وأحبب من يحبه ” .
