Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that one night I went out for some need and I found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came towards me in such a state that he was carrying something, but I did not know what it was. When I finished my need, I asked, "What is this thing that you are carrying?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) removed the cloth, and it was Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Husain (may Allah be pleased with him), who were on his thigh. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These two are my sons and my grandsons. O Allah! You know that I love both of them, so You also love both of them."
