الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ - رضى الله عنه - وَنَظَرَ إِلَى ابْنِهِ الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ كَمَا سَمَّاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَسَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ رَجُلٌ يُسَمَّى بِاسْمِ نَبِيِّكُمْ يُشْبِهُهُ فِي الْخُلُقِ وَلاَ يُشْبِهُهُ فِي الْخَلْقِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ يَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ عَدْلاً ‏.‏

Translation

…al-Mughirah said: Amr ibn Abi Qays narrated to us, from Shuayb ibn Khalid, from Abu Ishaq, who said: Ali, may God be pleased with him, looked at his son al-Hasan and said, “This son of mine is a leader, as the Prophet ﷺ named him. A man will emerge from his descendants, bearing the name of your Prophet. He will resemble him in character, but not in appearance.” Then he mentioned the account of the man who will fill the earth with justice.
