This indicates a virtue for Al- over Al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with them both. Its meaning is that Al-Hasan resembled the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and Al-Husayn resembled Ali. This resemblance is mostly spiritual, and it has been said that Al-Hasan was predominantly characterized by forbearance and penitence, while Al-Husayn was characterized by boldness and great courage, like Ali. It has also been said that this resemblance was physical. There is some discussion regarding the chain of narration of this Hadith.
