رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. We should have utmost respect and reverence for those blessed personalities, consider their happiness to be our own happiness, consider their pain to be our own pain, and love them with all our heart, because the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would show immense love towards Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn.

Love for Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states: I once entered the court of the Beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم whilst Imam Hasan and Iman Husayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُما  were playing in his lap. I asked: O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Do you love them? The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Why should I not love them; they are my two flowers whose fragrance I smell. (Mu’jam Kabeer, vol. 4, p. 155, Hadees 3990)
