Beloved Rasool’s devotion to his grandsons

Dear Islamic brothers! This is something to be noticed, that whenever a child is born, his parents perform ‘Aqeeqah, but when Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم were born, ‘Aqeeqah was not performed by their parents, rather their beloved maternal grandfather performed their ‘Aqeeqah. From this it can be judged that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم loved his beloved grandsons a lot. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم not only loved Hasanayn Karimayn رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم, but he also mentioned their glory and greatness on many occasions. Let’s listen to 5 blessed Ahadees regarding their glory and greatness.

Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated: I saw Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا sitting on the blessed shoulders of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said: How wonderful is the ride of both of you! The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: And how supreme are the riders as well!

(Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 423, Hadees 3809)

It is stated in another blessed Hadees: ‘مَنۡ اَحَبَّ الۡحَسَنَ وَالۡحُسَيۡنَ فَقَدۡ اَحَبَّنِيۡ وَمَنۡ اَبۡغَضَهُمَا فَقَدۡ اَبۡغَضَنِيۡ’ i.e. One who loves both of them, loves me and one who dislikes them, has dislike towards me. (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 1, pp. 96, Hadees 143)

Hasan and Husain (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا) are the leaders of the youths of Jannah. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 426, Hadees 3793)

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would smell both these children and cuddle them. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 428, Hadees 3797)

هُمَا رَيۡحَانَتَايَ مِنَ الدُّنۡيَا: i.e. Hasan and Husayn (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا) are two of my flowers in the world. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 427, Hadees 3795)

Dear Islamic brothers! Just ponder! Our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had great love and devotion to Hasanayn Karimayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا. Those people who do not love their children because they feel that by doing so they may
