I was with the Prophet ﷺ in one of the markets of Madinah. He left, and I left with him. He came to the courtyard of Fatimah's house and called out for Hasan, saying, "Little one, little one, little one." He said this three times, but no one answered him.He then departed, and I went with him. He came to the courtyard of Ayesha's house and sat down. Then Hasan bin Ali came.Abu Hurairah said, I thought his mother had kept him back to put a necklace of cloves and beads around his neck.When he arrived, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ embraced him, and he embraced the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "O Allah, I love him, so love him, and love whoever loves him." He said this three times.
