حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِکٍ قَالَ کُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ فَجِيئَ بِرَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِقَضِيبٍ لَهُ فِي أَنْفِهِ وَيَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا حُسْنًا قَالَ قُلْتُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ کَانَ مِنْ أَشْبَهِهِمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3778
Narrated Anas bin Malik: I was with Ibn Ziyad and the head of Al-Husain was brought. He began to poke it in the nose with a stick he had, saying: 'I do not see the like of this as beautiful, why is he mentioned as such?' He said: I said: 'Behold, he was of the closest resemblance to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).'
