3778. Anas bin Mālik said: "I was with Ibn Ziyād and the head of Al-Husain was brought. He began to poke it in the nose with a stick that he had, saying: 'I do not see the like of this as beautiful, why is he mentioned as such?'"[1] He said: "Behold, he was of the closest of them in resemblance to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." (Ṣaḥīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb.
٣٧٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ قَالَتْ: حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: «كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ،» فَجِيءَ بِرَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِقَضِيبٍ فِي أَنْفِهِ، وَيَقُولُ: مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا حُسْنًا، لَمْ يُذْكَرُ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ أَشْبَهِهِمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

[1] Husn: beauty. Among the meanings of the names Hasan and Husain is beautiful. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.
In the light of Al-Bukhārī's narration, it seems that Ibn Ziyād passed these remarks sarcastically and by way of arrogance. Anas said, "No doubt he has extreme resemblance to the Messenger of Allāh and no Muslim can have any doubt in the handsomeness of the Prophet ﷺ." Ibn Ziyād had no answer to it.
