It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, came to us while he was carrying Sayyiduna Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him, on one shoulder and Sayyiduna Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him, on the other shoulder. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, would sometimes kiss one and sometimes the other, until he, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, came walking to us. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you love both of them? He, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, replied: Whoever loves both of them, loves me, and whoever harbors enmity towards both of them, has harbored enmity towards me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were performing the ‘Isha prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go into prostration, Sayyiduna Hasan and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) would climb onto his back. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to raise his head, he would gently take them with his hand from behind and seat them on the ground. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) went into the second prostration, they would do the same again. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he seated both of them on his thighs. I (Abu Hurairah) got up and went towards him and said: O Messenger of Allah! Shall I take them home? At that moment, a light appeared, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: Both of you go to your mother. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: That light remained until both of them entered the house. In another narration, it is stated: That light remained until both of them reached their mother.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Hasan and Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) are the leaders of the youth of Paradise.

It is narrated from Ya'la Amiri that Sayyiduna Hasan and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them) came running towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) embraced both of them and said: Indeed, children become a cause of miserliness and cowardice, and after the conquest of Makkah, the last seizure of the polytheists by the Most Merciful took place in the Battle of Ta'if at the location of the Valley of Wajj.
