Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), while looking at his son Al-Hasan, said: “This son of mine is a master, as the Prophet (ﷺ) named him. From his lineage will come a man named after your Prophet, resembling him 1 in character but not in appearance.” Then he mentioned a story that he will fill the earth with justice.
