Musnad Ahmad 1719

Translation

al-Hasan b. Ali addressed us in a sermon and said: A man departed from you yesterday whom the earlier ones did not surpass in knowledge, and whom the later ones will not reach. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send him with the banner; Jibril was on his right and Mikail was on his left, and he would not return until victory was granted to him.
