Imam Hussain ibn Ali – Allah's pleasure be upon them all
1. It is reported that once, Imam Hasan approached the Holy Prophet -
blessings and peace be upon him - and climbed on his shoulders. A
person, (who was present) remarked, "O blessed son! What a nice steed
you have".In reply, the Holy Prophet declared, "And how nice a rider
(too)." [Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Manaqib, Manaqib Abi Muhammad
al-Hasan – Hadith no.3809, Vol 5, Page 432].
2. Once, when the Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - was
in ritual prostration Imam Hasan wrapped himself on the blessed back
of the Holy Prophet -blessings and peace be upon him.Due to this, the
Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - lengthened the ritual
prostration so that he (Hasan) would not fall when the Prophet raised
his head. [Musnad Abu Ya'la, Musnad Anas bin Malik, Hadith no. 3415,
Vol 3, Page 21].
3. The Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - declared: "these
two sons of mine are the leaders of the youth in Paradise." [Sunan
al-Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Manaqib, Manaqib Abi Muhammad al-Hasan, Hadith
no. 3793, Vol. 5, Page 426].
4. The Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - has alsostated
that, "Their friends are my friends, their enemies are my enemies."
[Sunan ibn Maja, kitab al-Sunna, Fadl al Hasan wa al Husain, Hadith
no. 143, Vol. 1, Page 96].
5. He has also stated that, "these two are the swords of the heavens."
He has also stated that,"Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain. May
Allah keep himas a friend who keeps Hussain as his friend. Hussain is
a grandchildfrom among grandchildren." [Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Hadith no.
3800, Vol. 5, Page 429].
6. It is stated that once, the Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be
upon him - placed Imam Hussain on his right thigh and and his own son,
Sayyiduna Ibrahim on his left thigh. Jibra'il appeared to him and
said, "Allah will not keepthem both with the Prophet, choose one of
them." The Holy Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - could not
bear being separated from Imam Hussain and three days later, Sayyiduna
Ibrahim passed on to the Divine Lord. After this incident, whenever
Imam Hussain came in front of him , he used to kiss him and say,
'Welcome to the one for whom I have sacrificed my own son'" [Tarikh
al-Baghdad, Vol. 2, Page 200].
7. He has also declared that, "They are my sons and the sons of my
daughter. O Allah! I have kept them in my friendship; You also keep
them in Your friendshipand keep him as Your friend who keeps them as
his friends." [Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Manaqib, Hadith no. 3794,
Vol. 5, Page 427].
8. He advised his blessed daughter, "Bring me both my sons." He used
to then smell them and then hug them to his chest. [Sunan al-Tirmidhi,
Kitab al-Manaqib, Hadith no. 3797, Vol. 5, Page 428].
Gems of Wisdom by Hasnain al-Kareemain
Radi Allahu Anhum Ajma'een
Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho:
*. Good manners and disposition are ten:
1. Truth in Speech
2. Strongly opposing falsehood
3. Charity
4. To repay favours
5. Kindness of kith and kin
6. Protect your neighbour
7. Right enjoined upon you on all creation
8. Entertaining guests
9. Etiquette and
10. The most important is Shame and modesty.
*. The best characteristic regarded amongst the wise is wisdom of
Taqwah (fear of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala) and the worst
characteristic is bad behaviour and bad manners.
*. Those who extend a hand of friendship towards you then become
friends with them you will be regarded as just.
*. Your age continues to increase while your life span decreases
therefore assist somebody while you can with anything you have.
*. Momin is he who provides for himself in the hereafter while aKafir
(rejecter of Faith) is he who is busy in providing for himself the
comforts of the World.
Sayyiduna Imam al-Hussain Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho:
*. Dishonoured is he, who is a Miser.
*. If you wish to become a leader then make action and movement, toil
and labour your business.
*. You are seeing the different types of business dealings shows that
the World is changing its colours (becomingmore fickle), turning its
face away, emptying itself of good, but we still have a little time, a
contemptible life is left, dangerand fearfulness has enclosed, Alas
with regret, can't you see that justice and truth have been placed
behind, falsehood is being practised openly, whosoever hand you grab
to rescue he does not want to be rescued towards the everlasting and
Almighty creator, nor does he wish to fulfil his duties to his Eternal
Lord. I prefer martyrdom, instead of living a life under these
oppressors for such a lifeis also a crime.
*. The World has changed coloursand it has been deprived of good, Is
there nobody that would stop the oppressor fromoppression, The time
has comefor the Mo'min to come forth and to sacrifice everything for
the sake of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
*. Do not fear that which you do not understand, not cannot attain.
*. Do not keep high hopes for anyremuneration for work which is more
than necessary.
*. If you know the results of a jobwill be difficult, then do not take
its responsibilities upon your shoulders.
*. The highest status amongst the forgiving is of that person who has
all the power to avenge himself yet he adopts to forgive.
*. All the people whom I loved have departed from this World and I am
left amongst those whom I don't like.
*. The best use of wealth is to modestly and honourably resolve it.
