Sahih al-Bukhari 5994 (Book 78, Hadith 25) #5754
The Sweet-Smelling Flowers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of Hasan and Husain, the grandsons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and how their death was mourned by Ibn Umar.

Narrated Ibn Abi Na'm: I was present when a man asked Ibn 'Umar about the blood of mosquitoes. Ibn 'Umar said, "From where are you?" The man replied".From Iraq". Ibn 'Umar said, "Look at that! he is asking me about the blood of Mosquitoes while they (the Iraqis ) have killed the (grand) son of the Prophet. I have heard the Prophet saying, "They (Hasan and Husain) are my two sweet-smelling flowers in this world".
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ شَاهِدًا لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ دَمِ الْبَعُوضِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ‏.‏ قَالَ انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا، يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ دَمِ الْبَعُوضِ وَقَدْ قَتَلُوا ابْنَ النَّبِيِّ وَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ هُمَا رَيْحَانَتَاىَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of Hasan and Husain, two grandsons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is narrated that a man asked Ibn Umar about the blood of mosquitoes, to which he replied with surprise that this man was asking him such a question while in Iraq they had killed the grandsons of Prophet Muhammad. He then quoted a saying from Prophet Muhammad himself who said “They are my two sweet-smelling flowers in this world”. This shows us how much love and respect he held for his grandchildren, as well as how much their death was mourned by those around them.
