Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَن الْحَسَنِ عَن أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ جَاءَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ الْمِنْبَرَ فَضَمَّهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقَالَ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.
English Translation
Muammal told us, Hammad ibn Zayd told us, Ali ibn Zayd told us, from al-Hasan, from Abu Bakrah, who said: While the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was delivering a sermon one day, al-Hasan ibn Ali came and climbed up to him on the pulpit, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, embraced him and wiped his head, and said: "This son of mine is a noble leader, and perhaps Allah will reconcile through him two great factions of the Muslims."
