The Life and Times of Imam Hasan bin Ali (A.S.)

Imam Hasan was the eldest son of Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet of Islam, and Ali bin Abi Talib.
Imam Hasan is the second Imam of the followers of Ahl al-Bayt, also known as the Shi’a Imamiyya. He was born on the 15th of Ramadhan in the 3rd year of Hijra. One of his wives, named J’udah binte Ash’ath, poisoned him on Mu’awiyyah’s instigation and bribery. He was martyred as a result of that on the 28th day of Safar in the 49th/50th year of Hijra. Some reports give the date of his martyrdom as the 7th of Safar. But that, actually, is the birth anniversary of the seventh Imam, Moosa al-Kazim, and the first date is more authentic.
He was named Hasan (the most beautiful – in looks as well as in character) by the Prophet of Islam on Allah’s command. This name was never used for anyone before Islam.
Hasan was very dear to his grandfather, the Prophet of Islam. There are numerous hadeeth reports in praise of the two grandsons the Prophet had, Hasan and his younger brother Husayn. The most famous of them all is as follows:
“Perhaps Allah will create harmony between two groups of Muslims who had been fighting, through this grandson of mine.”
There are numerous stories about the two grandsons of the Prophet of Islam in the authentic books of hadeeth and history. Every collector of hadeeth has dedicated at least one whole chapter in their respective collections on this topic. We quote a few of them.
