Book Name:Hasnain Karimain ki Shan o Azmat
Illumination for Hasanayn Karimayn
Dear Islamic brothers! The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم loved Hasnayn Karimayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا the most amongst the Ahl-e-Bayt. Sometimes, the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would carry both Hasan and Husayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا on his shoulder, even in the state of Salah when both climb on his back and the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would let them ride on his back while he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was in prostration and would prolong his Sajdah and when he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم raise his head from Sajdah, would make them sit on ground comfortably.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated: One day we were offering Salah behind the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Hasan and Husayn (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا) jumped on his back while he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was in the state of prostration in Salah. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم lifted his head, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would move them gently and place them beside him; then again, the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was in the state of prostration, they both repeated the same thing until the Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم competed his Salah and made them sit on his thighs. (Musnad Imam Ahmad, Hadees 10664)
Similarly, once in their childhood, when the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was delivering a Khutbah to us when (Sayyiduna) Hasan and Husayn (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا) entered the Masjid, the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went to them giving up Khutbah and placed them in front of him. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, Hadees 3799)
Special affection towards Sayyiduna Imam Hasan
Sayyiduna ‘Urwah Bin Zubayr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated from his father: Once the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم kissed Sayyiduna Imam Hasan رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, sniffed and embraced, an Ansari Sahabi was standing there at that time; having seen this special affection, he humbly said to the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘I have a son too who has now reached to his puberty age but I have never kissed him.’ The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘If Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has lifted the blessing from your heart then what my fault is!’ (Al-Mustadrak, Hadees 4746)
