Usamah bin Zaid Narrated from:
I Came To The Prophet (ﷺ) One Night Concerning Some Need, So The Prophet (ﷺ) Came Out While He Was Covering Up Something, And I Did Not Know What It Was. Once I Had Tended To My Need, I Said: 'What Is This That You Were Covering Up?' So He Uncovered It, And I Found It Was Hasan And Husain [Peace Be Upon Them] Upon His Hips. So He Said: 'These Are My Two Sons, And The Sons Of My Daughter. O Allah! Indeed, I Love Them, So Love Them, And Love Those Who Love Them.'
