مَنْ اَحَبَّ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَیْنَ فَقَدْ اَحَبَّنِیْ وَمَنْ اَبْغَضَھُمَا فَقَدْ اَبْغَضَنِیْ, meaning, “Whosoever loved Hasan and Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا loved me, and whosoever had enmity towards them had enmity to me.”^[1]

هُمَا رَيْحَانَتَايَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا , meaning, “Hasan and Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا are my two flowers in the world.”^[2]

 اَلْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ اَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ, meaning, “Hasan and Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا are the leaders of the youth of Paradise.”^[3]
