The Status of the Princes (Imam Hasan R.A. and Imam Hussain
R.A.)

1. Hazrat Bara’ bin Azib (Allah is pleased with him) narrates, “I

saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be upon
him) lifting Hasan ibn Ali upon his blessed shoulders and he was
saying, “O Allah! I love him [Hasan] therefore you love him.”
[Bukhari & Muslim]
2. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Allah is pleased with him) narrates that
I came out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations
be upon him) at a particular time in the day. He proceeded to
the residence of Fatimah and questioned, “Are the children
here?” After a little while, Hasan came running out until he
embraced the Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be
upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be
upon him) then said, “O Allah! I love him therefore you love
him, and love those who love him.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
3. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Allah is pleased with him) narrates that
the Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be upon
him) said, “Whosoever loves these two [Hasan and Husain]
loves me, and whosoever has animosity towards these two, has
animosity towards me.” [Nasa’i]
4. Sayyiduna Ali (Allah is pleased with him) narrates that when
Hasan was born, I initially named him Hamzah, and when
Husain was born, I named him Ja’far. The Messenger of
Allah (peace and salutations be upon him) called me and said,
“I have been instructed to change their names.” I replied, “Allah
and His Messenger know best.” Then the Messenger of
Allah (peace and salutations be upon him) changed their names
to Hasan and Husain. [Musnad e Ahmad, Hakim] 
5. Sayyidah Aisha (Allah is pleased with her) narrates that the
Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be upon
him) sacrificed 2 goats as Aqeeqah on the 7th  day after the
birth of Hasan and Husain. [Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq, Ibn
Hibban]
6. Sayyiduna Ali (Allah is pleased with him) narrates that Hasan
resembled the Messenger of Allah  (peace and salutations be
upon him) from head to chest, and Husain resembled the
Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be upon him)  most
from the chest below. [Tirmidhi] 
7. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (Allah is pleased with him) narrates that
Hasan was sat on the shoulders of the Messenger of
Allah (peace and salutations be upon him) when a man said,
‘How great is the ride upon which you are mounted, O boy!’
The Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be upon
him) replied, ‘How great is the rider.’ [Tirmidhi]
8. Hazrat Ibn Umar (Allah is pleased with him) narrates that the
Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be upon him) said,
“Indeed Hasan and Husain are two flowers of mine from this
world.” [Tirmidhi]
9. Hazrat Abu Saeed al-Khudri (Allah is pleased with
him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and
salutations be upon him) said, “Hasan and Husain are the
masters of the youth of Jannat.” [Tirmidhi]

the Messenger of Allah (peace and salutations be upon
him) said, “Love Allah for how He nourishes you out of His
bounty, love me because of the love of Allah, and love my
household [Ahl Bayt] because of my love.” [Tirmidhi, Hakim]
