Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit. Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him, at his side. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes turn towards the people and sometimes turn towards Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was saying: "This son of mine is a leader. Allah, the Exalted, will bring reconciliation between two great groups of Muslims because of him."
