Narrated Al-Hasan Al-Basri:When Al-Hasan bin `Ali moved with army units against Muawiya, `Amr bin AL-As said to Muawiya, "I see an army that will not retreat unless and until the opposing army retreats." Muawiya said, "(If the Muslims are killed) who will look after their children?" `Amr bin Al-As said: I (will look after them).

Al-Hasan Al-Basri ne izaafa kiya: Shak nahi, maine suna ke Abu Bakra ne kaha, 'Ek baar jab Nabi (SAW) (logon se) khitaab kar rahe the, Al-Hasan (bin Ali) aaye aur Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, "Mera ye beta ek sardaar hai, aur Allah shaayad iske zariye Musalmaanon ke do giroh ke beech sulah karwaaye."'
