The lesson
- The Prophet said: al-Hasan and al-Husayn are the masters of the youth of Paradise (al-Amali of al-Tusi; Man la Yahduruh al-Faqih; Sunan al-Tirmidhi 5:656; al-Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shayba). About twenty-five Companions narrated it; al-Allama al-Majlisi, and among Sunnis al-Suyuti and al-Albani, count it mutawatir. During Karbala the Imam cited this hadith to his enemies (Bihar al-Anwar 45:6).
- Narrated by Ya'la al-Amiri, the Prophet took him into his arms and said: Husayn is of me and I am of Husayn. God loves whoever loves Husayn. Husayn is a sibt among the asbat (Kamil al-Ziyarat; al-Irshad; al-Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shayba; Musnad Ahmad; Sunan Ibn Maja; Sunan al-Tirmidhi 5:658; al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim, who grades it sahih). The words are inscribed over the entrance of his shrine.
- When al-Hasan and al-Husayn entered the mosque, the Prophet would stop his sermon and come down from the pulpit to embrace them; asked whom he loved most in his family, he answered: al-Hasan and al-Husayn, as Anas ibn Malik narrates (Sunan al-Tirmidhi; al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim). He is described as the one who most resembled the Prophet (Musnad Ahmad; Sunan al-Tirmidhi; al-Irshad).
