2826. Ismā'īl bin Abī Khālid narrated that Abū Juhaifah said: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (he was) white and turning grey. Al-Ḥasan bin 'Alī resembles him most. He had promised thirteen young she-camels for us, so we went to get them. When we arrived he had died without giving us anything. So when Abū Bakr (became the Khalifah) he said: 'If there is anyone to whom the Messenger of
Allāh ﷻ made a promise, then let him come forth.' I stood to inform him about it, and he ordered that they be given to us." (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan.
Marwān bin Mu'āwiyah reported this Hadīth with a chain from Abū Juhaifah and it is similar to this. More than one narrator reported it from Ismā'il bin Abī Khālid, from Abū Juhaifah who said: "I saw the Prophet ﷺ and Al-Hasan bin 'Alī resembles him the most." And they did not add anything more than that.

Commentary
Al-Hasan's ﷺ upper part of the body, from chest up to his head, was like that of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ; and the lower part of the body of Hussain bin 'Alī ﷺ was like that of the Messenger. This Hadīth points out that if a person promises someone to give a specific thing and he dies, then the successor should fulfill the promise.
