Excellence & Gems ofWisdom by Hasnain Kareemain

The prominence of Imam Hasan ibn Ali and
Imam Hussain ibn Ali – Allah's pleasure be upon them all
1. It is reported that once, Imam Hasan approached the Holy Prophet -
blessings and peace be upon him - and climbed on his shoulders. A
person, (who was present) remarked, "O blessed son! What a nice steed
you have".In reply, the Holy Prophet declared, "And how nice a rider
(too)." [Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Manaqib, Manaqib Abi Muhammad
al-Hasan – Hadith no.3809, Vol 5, Page 432].
2. Once, when the Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - was
in ritual prostration Imam Hasan wrapped himself on the blessed back
of the Holy Prophet -blessings and peace be upon him.Due to this, the
Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - lengthened the ritual
prostration so that he (Hasan) would not fall when the Prophet raised
his head. [Musnad Abu Ya'la, Musnad Anas bin Malik, Hadith no. 3415,
Vol 3, Page 21].
3. The Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - declared: "these
two sons of mine are the leaders of the youth in Paradise." [Sunan
al-Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Manaqib, Manaqib Abi Muhammad al-Hasan, Hadith
no. 3793, Vol. 5, Page 426].
4. The Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - has alsostated
that, "Their friends are my friends, their enemies are my enemies."
[Sunan ibn Maja, kitab al-Sunna, Fadl al Hasan wa al Husain, Hadith
no. 143, Vol. 1, Page 96].
5. He has also stated that, "these two are the swords of the heavens."
He has also stated that,"Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain. May
Allah keep himas a friend who keeps Hussain as his friend. Hussain is
a grandchildfrom among grandchildren." [Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Hadith no.
3800, Vol. 5, Page 429].
6. It is stated that once, the Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be
upon him - placed Imam Hussain on his right thigh and and his own son,
Sayyiduna Ibrahim on his left thigh. Jibra'il appeared to him and
said, "Allah will not keepthem both with the Prophet, choose one of
them." The Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - could not
bear being separated from Imam Hussain and three days later, Sayyiduna
Ibrahim passed on to the Divine Lord. After this incident, whenever
Imam Hussain came in front of him , he used to kiss him and say,
'Welcome to the one for whom I have sacrificed my own son'" [Tarikh
al-Baghdad, Vol. 2, Page 200].
7. He has also declared that, "They are my sons and the sons of my
daughter. O Allah! I have kept them in my friendship; You also keep
them in Your friendshipand keep him as Your friend who keeps them as
his friends." [Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Manaqib, Hadith no. 3794,
Vol. 5, Page 427].
8. He advised his blessed daughter, "Bring me both my sons." He used
to then smell them and then hug them to his chest. [Sunan al-Tirmidhi,
Kitab al-Manaqib, Hadith no. 3797, Vol. 5, Page 428].
