Resemblance of the Prophet

SUMMARY: Abu Bakr was walking with Ali and they passed by Hasan, who looked like the Prophet. Abu Bakr said that he looks like the Prophet and not like Ali, to which Ali smiled.

Uqbah bin al-Harith said: I went out with Abu Bakr following 'Asr prayer a few days after the death of the Prophet , and 'Ali was walking beside him. He passed by al-Hasan bin 'Ali who was playing with some boys. Abu Bakr carried him on his shoulder, saying: May my father be sacrificed for him, the one who looks like the Prophet and does not look like 'Ali. He said: And 'Ali smiled
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ النَّبِيِّ بِلَيَالٍ وَعَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام يَمْشِي إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَمَرَّ بِحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ غِلْمَانٍ فَاحْتَمَلَهُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَا بِأَبِي شَبَهُ النَّبِيِّ لَيْسَ شَبِيهًا بِعَلِيِّ قَالَ وَعَلِيٌّ يَضْحَكُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Abu Bakr and 'Ali were walking together after Asr prayer a few days after the death of the Prophet. They passed by al-Hasan bin 'Ali who was playing with some boys. Abu Bakr noticed that al-Hasan looked very similar to the Prophet, so he said "May my father be sacrificed for him, the one who looks like the Prophet and does not look like 'Ali." To this statement, 'Ali smiled in agreement.
