3 ḥadīths

O Allah, I do love him. So love him and love whoever loves him

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: كنتُ مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في سوق من أسواق المدينة، فانصرف فانصرفتُ، فقال: «أين لُكَعُ -ثلاثا- ادعُ الحسن بن علي». فقام الحسن بن علي يمشي وفي عنقه السِّخَاب، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بيده هكذا، فقال الحسن بيده هكذا، فالتزمه فقال: «اللهم إني أُحبه فأَحبَّه، وأَحبَّ من يحبه». وقال أبو هريرة: فما كان أحد أحب إليَّ من الحسن بن علي، بعد ما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما قال.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was accompanying the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in one of the markets of Madīnah. He left and so did I. He said: "Where is Luka‘?" He repeated this three times and then said: "Call Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali." Al-Hasan got up and walked [towards him] and he had a necklace round his neck. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had his hand like this and Al-Hasan’s hand was the same and he hugged him and said: "O Allah, I do love him. So love him and love whoever loves him." Abu Hurayrah said: "There is none more beloved to me than Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali." He said that after he heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had said what he said about him.

Verily, Ibrahīm is my son and he died as a suckling infant, and, verily, he has two wet nurses in Paradise completing his suckling period

عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: «ما رأيتُ أحدا كان أرحم بالعِيال من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم »، قال: «كان إبراهيم مُسْتَرضَعًا له في عَوَالي المدينة، فكان ينطلق ونحن معه، فيدخل البيت وإنه ليُدَخَّن، وكان ظِئْره قَيْنًا، فيأخذه فيُقبِّله، ثم يرجع». قال عمرو: فلما تُوفي إبراهيم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «إن إبراهيم ابني، وإنه مات في الثَّدي، وإن له لظِئْرين تُكمِلان رضاعه في الجنة».
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I have never seen anyone more merciful to children than the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). (His son) Ibrahīm was sent to a wet nurse on the outskirts of Madīnah. So he used to go there, and we would accompany him, and he would enter the house, which was filled with smoke for Ibrahīm's foster father was a blacksmith, and he would take Ibrahīm and kiss him then return." ‘Amr said: "When Ibrahīm died, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Ibrahīm is my son, and he died as a suckling infant, and, verily, he has two wet nurses in Paradise completing his suckling period.'"

Explanation

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he had never seen anyone more merciful to children than the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). His son, Ibrahīm, was suckled by a wet nurse living in the suburb of Madīnah. Hence, he used to go there with some of his Companions to visit his son. He used to enter the house that would be filled with smoke because the wet nurse's husband was a blacksmith. He would take Ibrahīm, kiss him and then return home. On Ibrahīm's death, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ibrahīm is my son, and he died as a suckling infant, and he has two wet nurses in Paradise to complete his suckling period until he reaches the age of two. Ibrahīm died when he was sixteen or seventeen months old. So, he was to be suckled until completing the suckling period, which is two years according to what is stated in the Qur'an. This was done to honor the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his son.
