As we can see...
As we can see, the holy verse calls Imams Hasan and Husayn (as) “our sons” , and the Holy Prophet (S) and Imam ‘Ali (as) “ourselves” , while Her Holiness Fatimah Al-Zahra (as) represented the women of all the Muslims, as she is called “our women” . It is a frank, and incontrovertible proof of the great stature of Ahlul Bayt in the eyes of Allah and His Messenger (S).
The two sahihs (authentic books of hadith), Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal (Book of Hadith with complete chains of transmission), the Qur'anic exegesis of al-Tha'labi, and the Qur'anic exegesis of bin Abbas quotes bin Abbas as saying: “When the verse '...say: I do not ask of you any reward for it...' was revealed, they (the Muslims) asked: 'O Messenger of Allah!
who are your relations whom you ordered us to love?' '‘Ali,' he replied, 'Fatimah, and her two sons.'“ [^2]6 Imam ‘Ali bin Husayn (as), Sa'id bin Jubair, Amru bin Shu'aib, Abu-Ja'far, and Imam Husayn (as) quoted the Messenger of Allah (S) as having said when asked about the interpretation of the verse, 'To love my relatives...' [^3]7 If we confine ourselves to these few verses, the lofty position in the eyes of Allah, of Imam Hasan (as), the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (S), and all of Ahlul Bayt, becomes clear.
We deem it useful to cite some other texts, however, conveyed from the Messenger of Allah (S) about Imam Hasan (as), and his high status in the world of Islam, and in the sight of the leading Prophet (S): Al-Bukhari and Muslim report on the authority of al Bara', that be said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah (S) carrying Hasan bin ‘Ali (as) on his shoulder. He was saying: 'O Lord!
I love him, so love him.'“ Al-Tirmidhi reports from bin Abbas as saying: “The Messenger of Allah (S) was carrying Hasan bin ‘Ali (as), when a man said: “What an excellent mount you are riding, lad.” “What an excellent rider he is,” the Holy Prophet (S) replied.” Al Hafid Abu-Na'im reports on the authority of Abu Bakr, who said: “The Messenger of Allah (S) was leading us in prayer.
Hasan, who was still a child, would come to him while he was in prostration, and sit on his back or sometimes on his neck.
