It was mentioned in Al-Kafi ([1]) by the great Sheikh, the Trust of Islam, Muhammad bin Ya’qub Al-Kulayni, on the authority of Al-Hasan bin Rashid, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah - peace be upon him - say: “When God, the Blessed and Exalted, wants to create the Imam, He orders an angel to take a drink of water from under the Throne, and he gives it to him to drink. From that, the Imam is created. He remains in his mother’s womb for forty days and nights, not hearing a sound. Then, after that, he hears speech. When he is born, God sends him and writes between his eyes, {And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and justice. None can change His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing} ([2]). So, when the Imam who was before him passes away, God raises for him a beacon of light by which he looks at the deeds of creation. By this, God argues with His creation.”

​

The date of his birth - peace be upon him -: The author of Matālib al-Su’ūl ([3]) mentioned that the most correct thing that has been said about his birth is that he was born in Medina in the middle of the month of Ramadan in the year three of the Hijra, and al-Kanji al-Shafi’i agreed with him in his book Kifāyat al-Talib ([4]), and al-Mufid fi al-Irshad ([5]). His father, Ali - peace be upon him - had consummated the marriage with Fatimah in Dhul-Hijjah of the second year of the Hijra, so al-Hasan - peace be upon him - was her first child. It was said ([6]): She gave birth to him after six months, but the correct version is the opposite. When he was born, the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - was informed, so he took him and recited the call to prayer in his ear. Abu Muhammad Abd al-Aziz ibn al-Akhdar al-Janabdhi also narrated something similar ([7]).

It was narrated that the Prophet, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, performed the ‘aqeeqah for him with a ram, shaved his head, and ordered that his weight in silver be given in charity ([8]).

​

Al-Dulabi narrated in his book called Al-Dhariya Al-Tahera ([9]), he said: “Ali - peace be upon him - married Fatima, and she gave birth to Hasan for him two years after Uhud. There were two years, six months and a half between the Battle of Uhud and the arrival of the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - to Medina, so she gave birth to him four years, six months and a half after the date, and between Uhud and Badr there was a year and a half.”

​

It was narrated that Fatima - peace be upon her - wanted to sacrifice a ram for him, so the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - said: “Do not sacrifice an ‘aqeeqah for him, but shave his head and then give its weight in silver in charity ([10]) for the sake of God” ([11]), and the weight of his hair when she shaved it was one dirham and something ([12]).

​

In the book “I’lam al-Wara”: Al-Hassan - peace be upon him - was born on the night of the middle of the month of Ramadan in the year three of the Hijra, and it was said: two, and Fatima, the Lady of Women - peace be upon her - came to the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - on the seventh day of his birth wrapped in a rag of silk from Paradise that Gabriel brought down to the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace ([13]).

​

In the book “Uyun al-Mu’jizat”: The birth of al-Hasan - peace be upon him - was fifteen years after the mission of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - and she gave birth to him when she was eleven full years old. His birth was like the birth of his grandfather and father, and he - peace be upon him - was pure and clean, glorifying and praising God at the time of his birth, and reciting the Qur’an, according to what the hadith scholars have narrated, and from the Messenger of God that Gabriel spoke to him ([14]).

 

In Misbah Al-Kafa’mi ([15]), it is stated that Al-Hassan - peace be upon him - was born in Medina on the third of the middle of the month of Ramadan in the year three of the Hijra during the reign of King Yazdegerd, Khosrau ibn Shahriyar.

​

Al-Mufid said: In the third year of the Hijra, and this is what the martyr relied upon ([16]), Abu Ali al-Tabarsi in the book I’lam al-Wara ([17]), Ibn Talha al-Shami ([18]), al-Kanji al-Shafi’i in Kifayat al-Talib ([19]), and others, and al-Kulayni mentioned that he was born in the month of Ramadan in the year of Badr, year two, and it was narrated in the third year ([20]), and he did not specify the day, and the Sheikh in al-Tahdhib relied upon what al-Kulayni relied upon ([21]), and in summary, there is no disagreement according to what has appeared to us regarding the month of Ramadan, and none of them mentioned anything that contradicts what the concerned parties mentioned, so this day should be taken as a day of celebration and joy for the believers, in addition to the honor of this day, as what is understood from the narrations is that it is a noble day due to the honor of its night.

​

As for his lineage, both father and mother: it is a lineage that cannot be compared to other lineages, nor can it be compared to anything else in terms of its lofty status. It is a lineage that shines with the light of the sun, the moon, and the meteor, and the fragrance of his good memory spreads over all fragrances. It was said about him:

​

The lineage of the noble sons of the Prophet and Haidar is like the sun shining on the poles

​

To God belongs the one who is related to me, whose status is among the most honorable of lineages.

​

By my life, if he is the pure one, the grandson of the Prophet, the son of the guardian Ali, and the son of Fatima al-Zahra, the lady of the women of the worlds, then his lineage is the highest lineage among the lineages of the first and the last.

​

As for calling him Al-Hassan and naming his brother Al-Hussein: In the book Hilyat Al-Abarar ([22]): On the authority of Ibn Babawayh with his chain of transmission on the authority of Ibn Abbas, he said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - said to Ali bin Abi Talib - peace be upon him -: When God - may His remembrance be glorified - created Adam - peace be upon him - and breathed into him from His spirit and made His angels prostrate to him and made him dwell in His Paradise and married him to His handmaid Eve, he raised his eyes towards the Throne and saw five lines written: Adam - peace be upon him - said: O Lord, by virtue of their status with You, what is their name? So the Almighty and Majestic said: As for the first, I am Al-Mahmoud, and he is Muhammad. As for the second, I am Al-Ali, and this is Ali. As for the third, I am Fatir Al-Samawat, and this is Fatima. As for the fourth, I am Al-Muhsin, and this is Hassan. As for the fifth, I am Dhul-Ihsan, and this is Al-Hussein. All of them praise God - may He be glorified and Majestic.

 

And in it ([23]): On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, he said: The Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - said: O Fatima, the names of Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein among the sons of Aaron are: Shabbar and Shabir, because of their honor with God Almighty.

As for his titles and his kunya: Ibn Talha said ([24]): As for his kunya, it is Abu Muhammad and nothing else, and his titles are many, including: Al-Taqi, Al-Tayyib, Al-Zaki, Al-Sayyid, Al-Sabt, and Al-Wali, all of which were said to him and given to him, and the most famous of these titles is Al-Taqi, but the highest in rank and most deserving of it is what the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - called him and described him with and singled him out by making him pure, for it is authentically transmitted from the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - in what was narrated by trustworthy narrators, that he said: This son of mine is a master until the end of the hadith, so the first of his titles is Al-Sayyid.

​

Sheikh Abdullah bin Ahmed bin Muhammad bin Ahmed bin Al-Khashab Al-Nahwi narrated, in addition to his titles, the one who narrated Al-Hujjah and Al-Qa’im ([25]), the end.

​

As for the inscription on his ring: In the book Hilyat al-Abarar ([26]) and al-Kaf’ami ([27]), it says that glory belongs to God.

In the book “Al-Fusul Al-Muhimmah” by Ibn Al-Sabbagh, it is stated that glory belongs to God alone ([28]).

​

As for his gatekeeper: In the book of Al-Kafa’mi ([29]) it is stated that his slave was Safina, who was a slave of the Prophet J and he gave him to Ali A.

​

As for his poetess: In Al-Fusul, it is mentioned that she is Umm Sinan Al-Madhhaji ([30]).

​

As for his description - peace be upon him -: In the aforementioned book ([31]) traced back to Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ayoub al-Maqburi, he said: Al-Hasan ibn Ali - peace be upon him - was white in color, tinged with redness, had dark eyes, smooth cheeks, a fine nose, a thick beard, and it was as if his neck was a silver pitcher, with large shoulders, wide between the shoulders, medium build, neither tall nor short, handsome, with the most handsome face of people, and he used to dye his hair black, and he had curly hair, and a handsome body.

​

In Kashf al-Ghummah ([32]) on the authority of al-Tirmidhi with his chain of transmission in his Sahih, tracing it back to Abu Juhayfah, he said: I saw the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - and al-Hasan ibn Ali resembled him.

​

And in it ([33]): On the authority of Ismail bin Abi Khalid, he said: I said to Abu Juhaifa: Did you see the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace? He said: Yes, and Al-Hasan bin Ali resembles him.

In mentioning the Prophet’s love - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - for him

and in what was reported about him - peace be upon him - in the book Hilyat al-Abarar ([34]) with his chain of transmission on the authority of al-Bara’ ibn Azib, he said: I saw the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - with al-Hasan on his shoulder, and he said: O God, I love him, so love him.

And in it ([35]): From Sahih al-Bukhari on the authority of Abu Hurairah on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and his family, that he said to al-Hasan, peace be upon him, “I love him. O God, I love him and I love those who love him.”

And in it ([36]): From the book “Al-Jam’ Bayn Al-Sahihayn” by Al-Humaydi, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, he said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali, and Al-Aqra’ bin Habis Al-Tamimi was sitting with him. Al-Aqra’ bin Habis said: I have ten children, and I have not kissed any of them. So the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - looked at him and then said: He who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.

And in it ([37]): From the book Hilyat al-Awliya’ by Abu Na’im, on the authority of Isa bin Thabit, he said: I heard al-Bara’ bin Azib say: I saw the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - placing al-Hasan - peace be upon him - on his shoulder, and he said: Whoever loves me, let him love him.

And in it ([38]): On the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: I never saw Al-Hasan except that my eyes overflowed with tears, and that was because he came one day, so intense that he sat in the lap of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - and the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - opened his mouth and put his hand in his mouth and said: O God, I love him, so love him and love whoever loves him, he said it three times.

And in it ([39]) also: From the book “The Virtues of the Companions” by Al-Sam’ani, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: Al-Hassan - peace be upon him - was with the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - and he loved him intensely, so he said: Go to your mother, so I said: Shall I go with him? He said: No, so a flash of light came from the sky and he walked in its light until he reached his mother.

In the important chapters ([40]): On the authority of Al-Tirmidhi, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - was carrying Al-Hasan bin Ali - peace be upon him - on his shoulder, and a man said: What a good mount you have ridden, O boy, so the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - said: What a good rider he is.

And in it ([41]): On the authority of Al-Tirmidhi, on the authority of Abu Saeed, he said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - said: Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein are the masters of the youth of the people of Paradise.

Ibn Omar narrated, he said ([42]): I heard the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - say: They are my two sweet basil plants in this world.

And in it ([43]): Al-Nasa’i narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Shaddad, on the authority of his father, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, came out to us during one of the two evening prayers while he was carrying Hasan. The Prophet came forward to pray and put him down, then he said Allahu Akbar and prayed, and he prostrated during his prayer once and prolonged it. My father said: So I raised my head and saw the child on the back of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, while he was prostrating, so I returned to my prostration. When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, finished his prayer, the people said: O Messenger of God, you prostrated during your prayer once and prolonged it until we thought that something had happened and that revelation was being sent to you! The Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, said: None of that happened, but my son rode me, and I did not want to hurry him until he came down.

In the book Matālib al-Sa’ūl ([44]): Al-Tirmidhi narrated in his Sahih on the authority of Usamah ibn Zayd who said: I knocked on the door of the Prophet - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - one night for some need, and he came out wrapped in something, I do not know what it was. When I finished my need, I said: What is this that you are wrapped in? So he uncovered it and behold, it was Hasan and Husayn on his hips, and he said: These are my two sons and the two sons of my daughter. O God, love them, so love them and love those who love them.

Sleep is distant, so my eyes do not sleep *** And the night brings worries and brings them

Oh, Al Madhhij, there is no place to stay, so roll up your sleeves *** The enemy is targeting the family of Ahmad

     This is Ali, like the crescent moon, a masterpiece *** In the middle of the sky, from the happiest planet

The best of creation and cousin of Muhammad *** If he guides you with his light, you will be guided

He has been victorious since he witnessed the wars, and victory is on his banner, never missing.

She said, mourning the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him:

As for you, O father of Al-Hussein, you have not ceased***to be known as a guide and a rightly guided one

So go, may your Lord's prayers be upon you, as long as a dove soars above the branches.

I was a successor after Muhammad, as he recommended us to you, so I was faithful.

Today, there is no successor to be hoped for after him***It is impossible to hope for a human being after him

She has a funny story with Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan mentioned in history and biography books. When she entered upon him, he asked her about her poetry on the day of Siffin, and her praise of Imam Ali, peace be upon him. She did not deny that, but rather said: A tongue that speaks and says. See: Encyclopedia of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) in the Book and the Sunnah - by Muhammad al-Rayshahri - 9: 14, and Aayan al-Shi’a - by Sayyid Muhsin al-Amin - 3: 480, and Balaghat al-Nisa - by Ibn Tayfur - 63.

In Sahih al-Bukhari, 7: 159, it was narrated with a chain of transmission that goes back to Abu Hurayrah, that he said: “I was with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, in one of the markets of Medina, and he turned away, so I turned away, and he said (Where are you - three times - call al-Hasan bin Ali).” Al-Hasan bin Ali stood up walking with a sakhab around his neck. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said with his hand like this. Al-Hasan said with his hand like this. He embraced him and said, “O God, I love him, so love him and love those who love him.” Abu Hurairah said, “No one was more beloved to me than Al-Hasan bin Ali after the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said what he said.” [36] - Hilyat al-Abrar, previous source, 3: 76.
