Abu Hurayra reported: I was with the Messenger of Allah in one of the markets of Medina. He turned away, and I followed. He called, “Where is the little one?” three times, then said, “Call Hasan ibn Ali.” Hasan ibn Ali came walking with a necklace around his neck. The Prophet gestured to him, and Hasan gestured back. He embraced him and said, “O Allah, I love him, so love him and love whoever loves him.” Abu Hurayra said that after hearing this from the Messenger of Allah, no one was dearer to him than Hasan ibn Ali.

Umm Salama reported that the Prophet was at her home when an effeminate man was present. He said to Abdullah, Umm Salama’s brother, “If Taif is opened to you tomorrow, I will point out the daughter of Ghailan to you: she comes forward with four and turns away with eight.” The Prophet said, “These people must not enter upon you.” Abu Abd Allah explained that “she comes forward with four” refers to four folds of her belly, and “turns away with eight” to the ends of those four folds, which encircle her sides. He noted that the Arabic uses the feminine form “eight,” rather than the masculine form, because it does not say “eight ends.”

He was leaning on two men—or on the shoulders of two men—and circumambulating the House. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ They said, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary.’ Then I saw a man with tightly curled hair and a blind right eye, like a protruding grape. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ They said, ‘The False Messiah.’”
