Hadith #112
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَثِبُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّك
َ لَتَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا شَيْئًا مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ تَفْعَلُهُ بِأَحَدٍ قَالَ الْمُبَارَكُ فَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ وَسَيُصْلِحُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَوَاللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ وَلِيَ لَمْ يُهْرَقْ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ مِلْءُ مِحْجَمَةٍ مِنْ دَمٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Bakra (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading people in prayer, and al-Hasan ibn 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to climb onto his back when he prostrated. He did this more than once. They said to him: 'By Allah, you do something with this child that we have not seen you do with anyone else.' He said: 'This son of mine is a master, and Allah may reconcile through him two groups of Muslims.'
