O Allah, I do love him. So love him and love whoever loves him
Narrator in the source: Abu Hurayrah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah say:
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was accompanying the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in one of the markets of Madīnah. He left and so did I. He said: "Where is Luka‘?" He repeated this three times and then said: "Call Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali." Al-Hasan got up and walked [towards him] and he had a necklace round his neck. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had his hand like this and Al-Hasan’s hand was the same and he hugged him and said: "O Allah, I do love him. So love him and love whoever loves him." Abu Hurayrah said: "There is none more beloved to me than Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali." He said that after he heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had said what he said about him.- Grade in the source

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: كنتُ مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في سوق من أسواق المدينة، فانصرف فانصرفتُ، فقال: «أين لُكَعُ -ثلاثا- ادعُ الحسن بن علي». فقام الحسن بن علي يمشي وفي عنقه السِّخَاب، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بيده هكذا، فقال الحسن بيده هكذا، فالتزمه فقال: «اللهم إني أُحبه فأَحبَّه، وأَحبَّ من يحبه». وقال أبو هريرة: فما كان أحد أحب إليَّ من الحسن بن علي، بعد ما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما قال.Understand this hadith
