Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَتَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي سَهْلٍ النَّبَّالِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ طَرَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ لِبَعْضِ الْحَاجَةِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيَّ وَهُوَ مُشْتَمِلٌ عَلَى شَيْءٍ لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ حَاجَتِي قُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَنْتَ مُشْتَمِلٌ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا حَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ عَلَى وَرِكَيْهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّهُمَا فَأَحْبِبْهُمَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ أَسْنَدَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ
English Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Khalid ibn 'Atamah informed us, he said: Musa ibn Ya'qub narrated to me, from Ibn Zayd ibn al-Muhajir, from Muslim ibn Abi Sahl al-Nabbal, who said: al-Hasan ibn Usamah ibn Zayd narrated to me, from his father, who said: I knocked on the door of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) one night for some need. He came out to me wrapped around something that I did not know what it was. When I finished with my need, I asked: 'What is this that you are wrapped around?' It turned out to be al-Hasan and al-Husayn on his hips. He said: 'O Allah, You know that I love them, so love them' - three times. We do not know of al-Hasan ibn Usamah narrating from his father with a connected chain except this hadith.
