Musnad Ahmad 20448

Translation

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ used to lead the people in prayer, and al-Hasan b. 'Ali ؓ would jump on his back when he prostrated. He did that more than once. They said to him: By God, you do something with him that we have not seen you do with anyone. Al-Mubarak said: Then he mentioned something and said: This son of mine is a chief, and God [Blessed and Exalted] will reconcile through him two factions of the Muslims. Then al-Hasan said: By God, by God, after he assumed authority, not even a cupping-glass full of blood was shed during his caliphate.
