Abu Huraira reported: I went along with Allalh's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) at a time during the day but he did not talk to me and I did not talk to him until he reached Bazar of Banfi Qainuqal. He came back to the tent of Fatima and said: Is the little chap (meaning Hasan) there? We were under the impression that his mother had detained him in order to bathe him and dress him and garland him with a sweet garland. Not much time had passed that he (Hasan) came running until both of them embraced each other, thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: O Allaah, I love him; love him Thou and love one who loves him (Hasan).

The one amongst them was seated before him and the other one was seated behind him.
