I said; " I am an Iraqi".
He said: " From where in Iraq?"
I said: " I am a man from Kufa".
He said: " You are welcome, people of Kufa".
I said: " Our people's opinion differed about the Preference. Therefore, I came to ask you about it".
He said: " To the expert you came, I won't tell you except what my ears had heard, my heart had known and my eyes had seen. The Prophet came out to us-as if I am seeing him right now- carrying al-Husayn son of 'Ali on his shoulder and putting his good hand on his (al-Husayn's) foot and clinging it to his chest and said: " Surely, I know what you will differ about after me. This is al-Husayn son of 'Ali; he has the best grandfather and grandmother; his grandfather, the Messenger of Allah, is the master of all Prophets; his grandmother is Khadija daughter of Khowaylid, the first of all women to believe in Allah and His Messenger.
This, al-Husayn son of 'Ali has the best father in all people, the best mother in all people; his father is 'Ali son of abu-Talib, the Messenger's brother, vice and cousin, the first of all men to believe in Allah and His Messenger; his mother is Fatima daughter of Muhammad, the Leader of all women. This, al-Husayn son of 'Ali has the best (paternal) uncle and the best (paternal) aunt; his uncle is Ja'far son of Abu-Talib who is adorned with two wings with which he flies to wherever he wants in Paradise, and his aunt is Umm-Hany daughter of Abu-Talib.
This, al-Husayn son of 'Ali has the best (maternal) uncle and the best (maternal) aunt; his uncle is al-Qasim son of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, and his aunt is Zaynab daughter of Muhammad". He then put him on his shoulder, separated his arms then knelt and said: " O people, this is al-Husayn son of 'Ali; his grandfather and grandmother are in Paradise; his (paternal) uncle and aunt are in Paradise; his (maternal) uncle and aunt are in Paradise; he and his brother are in Paradise. Surely, no one of the prophet's descendants was given what he was given except Joseph son of Jacob .

According to 'Alee son of Husayn (the fourth imam): " Al-Hasan son of 'Ali preached to people when 'Ali (A.S.) was murdered; he praised Allah and said: " The man who has died today could have been not be surpassed by any of the ancients and no one of the later folk can catch up with him regarding deeds; the Messenger of Allah used to give him his banner and he would fight with (archangels) Gabriel to his right and Michael to his left and he would not come back until Allah has bestowed victory upon him.
He has not left behind any gold or silver save Seven-hundred dirhems remaining from his allowance, with which he was planning to purchase a servant for his family. He continued: " O people, he who has known me, so he did and he who hasn't, let him know that I am al-Hasan son of 'Ali, I am the Prophet's son, I am the Vice's son, I am the Harbinger's (bringer of good tidings) son, I am the Warner's son, I am the son of the Caller unto Allah by His leave, I am the son of the Light-giving Lamp,
I am from the household whom Gabriel used to descend to and ascend from, I am from the household whom Allah Has put away from them abomination and cleansed them, I am from a household whom Allah made loving them a duty upon every Moslem, thus His saying to His Prophet (S.A.W): { Say: I do not ask of you a wage for this, except love for the kinsfolk; and whosoever gains a good deed, We shall give him increase of good in respect of it}; so the meaning of gaining of the good deed is loving us, the Prophet's Household".

Al-Khawarizmy related a Hadith by the Messenger (S.A.W) saying: " I am the scale of knowledge, 'Ali is its pans, al-Hasan and al-Husayn are its strings, Fatima is its hook and the imams of my community are its column; in it the works of those who love us and those who hate us are weighed".

'Ali son of Abu-Talib (A.S.) quoted the Prophet (S.A.W) as saying: " I swear by the One in whose Hand my life is! A man's soul does not leave his body until it eats from the fruits of Paradise or from the Tree of Zakkoum (a tree in Hell), he sees Death's Angel, he sees me, 'Ali, Fatima, al-Hasan and al-Husayn; if he used to love us, I will say O Death's Angel, treat him gently because he used to love me and my household; and if he used to hate me and my household, I will say, O Death's Angel, be severe towards him because he used to hate me and my household. Only a believer loves us and only a wretched hates us".
