Resemblance of Hasan and Husain to the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: Ali said that Hasan and Husain resemble the Prophet Muhammad in different ways.

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ الْحَسَنُ أَشْبَهُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّدْرِ إِلَى الرَّأْسِ وَالْحُسَيْنُ أَشْبَهُ مَا أَسْفَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ‏.‏
