He was handsome; the best of all people in face. Al-Hasan, peace be on him, was as the poet said: When some handsomeness creeps into the insights of imaginations, He (al-Hasan) has the special share.

When he came out and sat, the street was over crowded. So no one of Allah's creatures could pass to show respect for him. When he knew that, he stood up and entered his house.
