Problems during and after Imam Hasan (a.s.) life

As with the other Imam (a.s.), Imam Hasan's life was also filled with
difficulties. From the verychildhood he saw the faces and activities
of theso called companions of the Prophet Mohammad (saw) who left him
alone in several battlefields, who objected to the Prophet Mohammad's
(saw) decisions up to the stage that some of them expressed their
doubts that he was Allah's Prophet.
Then upon the demise of Prophet Mohammad (saw), he saw that only a
handful of his faithful companions were there to bury him and the rest
had left him to share political power among themselves. He saw the
atrocities of Bani Ummayad in the way they treated the Ahle Bait(a.s.)
and hurled accusations against ImamAli (a.s.) after the killing of
Hazrat Usman third Caliph. He lived through the battles of Siffin ,
Jamal and finally saw the martyrdom of his father Imam Ali (a.s.).
As if all of this was not enough, even after his death the agents of
Bani Ummaya continued their work against the Ahle Bait (a.s.) and
grafted stories of hundreds of marriages of Imam Hasan(a.s.). Some
mentioned that he married 70 times and other said that he married more
than 300 times but none could count names of more than 10 wives. Such
was the strength of their hatred that upon his death, he was not
allowed to be buried alongside his grand father, the Prophet Mohammad
(saw).
