Greatest of the Imams

Anas ibn Malik narrates that the Messenger of Allah (ص) said:

﴿ هَبَطَ عَلَيَّ الْـمَلِكَانِ لَـمْ يَهْبِطَا مُنْذُ كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ، فَبَشَّرَانِی أَنَّ الْـحَسَنَ وَالْـحُسَيْنَ سَيِّدَا أَهْلِ الْـجَنَّةِ. فَقُلْتُ: أَبُوهُمَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمَا ﴾

"Two angels descended upon me, which had not descended since the creation of the earth until then. They gave me the glad tidings that Hasan and Husain are the chiefs of the Paradise. I said: Their father is superior than them"
