Sunan an-Nasa'i 1410

Muhammad ibn Mansur informed us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us; he said: Abu Musa—Isra’il ibn Musa—narrated to us; he said: I heard al-Hasan say: I heard Abu Bakrah say: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit with al-Hasan. He would turn toward the people at one moment and toward al-Hasan at another, saying: “This son of mine is a leader. Perhaps Allah will bring about reconciliation through him between two great groups of Muslims.”
