English Translation
'Uqbah ibn al-Harith said: I was with Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) when he passed by al-Hasan ibn 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He placed him on his neck and said: "By my father! He resembles the Prophet (peace be upon him), not 'Ali." 'Ali was with him and he laughed (may Allah be pleased with them all).
