Sayings About Imam Hassan (AS)

The 2nd Holy Imam Hassan(as):

Is the first born son of the 1st holy Imam Ali Ibn Abu Taleb(as) and his holy wife, the Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra(as), the Daughter of The Holy Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf).

Imam Hassan(as):

He died slowly and painfully, because of some poison that was mixed in his food, by his greedy wife. Who had been paid for her deed by Muawiyah, who promised her marriage to his son Yazeed. But later after her evil deed of poisoning Imam Hassan(as), Muawiyah refused.

Imam Hussain(as):

His younger brother, the 3rd holy Imam prepared his body for the burial, in his Grandfather's(pbuh&hf) house, in AL-Medina. But was violently forced to bury his dead brother's body instead in the nearby Al-Baqgea Cemetery in Medina.

Al-Mujtaba:

Excelled all others in his time in worshipping Allah (swt), in knowledge and in spiritual perfections. He was more like The Prophet, than any other person. He was the most kind hearted person in all of his family at his time and the most forbearing among all the people.

His house maid:

She happily presented him a bunch of fresh flowers and because of her kind gesture, the Imam(as) repaid her kindness by setting her free. When questioned as to why he made the maid free? He said that it was because of how Allah(swt) has disciplined us and he stated this from the Holy Koran,

"When you are greeted, you should respond in even a better way or just return the greeting."

A Syrian stranger:

Once a person from Syria on a horse back entered Al-Medinan and asked for Imam Hassan(as). The people on the streets pointed to where he could be found. And when he met the Imam(as) on the street in the market place. He started to abuse him loudly infront of all the people.

But the Imam(as) kept perfectly still and did not respond or try move out of his way, but instead stood quietly and politely listerning to all his abuses. When the Syrian had finally said all that he wanted to say, the infallible and holy Imam(as) stepped closer to him and grasped his hand firmly with his right hand. Then with his left hand he placed it gently onto the bewildered Syrian's right shoulder, said with a sincere broad smile,

"As-Salaam A'laykum. I think you must be a stranger and have just arrived to our town. If you are in need of some food, we can provide it for you. If you are in need of anything, then we will give it to you. Or if you are in need of any directions, we can give it to you. And if you may need a ride, we shall provide one for you, and if you are in need of our protection, we are ready to protect you."

The man was astonished at the reponse and after hearing all this he began to cry and said sincerely,

"I testify that you are the Deputy of Allah on earth. For only Allah knows better who to entrust with His Divine Message."
