Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba(as) The Infallible Second Holy Imam



The Second Holy Imam Hassan son of the Imam Ali Ibn Abu Taleb(as) and Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra(as) the daughter of The Holy Prophet(pbuh).

He died, as a martyr because of poison mixed in his food, by his wife paid for her deed by Muawiyah.

His younger brother, Imam Hussain(as) prepared his body for the burial, in his grandfather's The Prophet's(pbuh) house but was violently forced to bury his dead brother's body instead in the nearby Al-Baqgea cemetery in Medina.

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

Once a house maid presented him a bunch of flowers and because of this the Imam(as) set her free. He then said that it was because of how Allah(swy) 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."

Once a person from Syria on a horse back met the Imam and started to abuse him but the Imam did not respond. When the Syrian said all that he wanted to say the Imam went closer to him and said with a smile,

"May peace be with you.
I think you have just come to this town.
If you need some food we can provide you.
If you may need anything we can give you
and if you need directions we can give directions
and if you may need a ride we can provide one
and if you need protection we are ready to protect you."

The man after hearing all this began to cry and said,

" I testify that you are deputy of Allah on earth and Allah knows better who to entrust with Divine message."
