It is narrated from Zuhair bin Aqmar that after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), one day Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was delivering a sermon when a man from Banu Asad stood up and said: I have seen that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had seated him in his lap and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever loves me should also love him. Those who are present here should convey this message to those who are not present. If it were not for this emphasis from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would not have narrated this hadith to you.
