The Prophet’s Love for Imams Ĥasan and Ĥusain عليه السلام, His Command to Love Them, and the Reward for Loving Them

12. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from Abī Sa’īd Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Zakariyyā Al-‘Adwi Al-Basri, from ‘Abdil A’lā ibn Ḥammād Al-Bursi, from Wahab, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Uthmān, from Sa’īd ibn Abī Rāshid, from Ya’lā Al-‘Āmiri, who said: I was going with the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم to a place where he was invited for food when we saw Ḥusain عليه السلام playing with (other) children. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم went ahead of us and opened his arms (to catch him). Ḥusain عليه السلام was running in different directions and the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was making him laugh until he caught him. Then he placed one of his hands under Ḥusain’s chin and the other hand behind his head. He placed his mouth on the mouth of Ḥusain عليه السلام and kissed him. Then he said, “Ḥusain عليه السلام is from me and I am from Ḥusain عليه السلام. Allāh loves those who love Ḥusain عليه السلام. Ḥusain عليه السلام is a chief from among the chiefs.”
