وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، ثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ - يَعْنِي الْأَشْقَرَ - عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ:
رَأَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ ؓ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: نِعْمَ الْفَرَسُ تَحْتَكُمَا. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: وَنِعْمَ الْفَارِسَانِ هُمَا
