مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 792
It was narrated that 'Ali (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) entered upon me when I was sleeping on the mattress. Al-Hasan or al-Husain asked for a drink, so the Prophet (PBUH) went to a young sheep and milked it, then al-Hasan came to him and the Prophet told him to wait. Fatimah said: O Messenger of Allah, it is as if he is the dearer of the two to you? He said: "No, but he asked for a drink first." Then he said: "You and I and these two and this one who is sleeping will be in the same place on the Day of Resurrection."
