Hazrat Hassan (Pbuh)

Hazrat Hassan (pbuh), one of the People of the Book, was the grandson
of our Prophet (saas). He wasthe son of Hazrat Ali (pbuh) and the
Prophet's (saas) daughter Hazrat Fadime (pbuh) and was born in Medina
on the third year of the hegira. The Prophet Muhammed (saas) read the
call to prayer (adhan) into his ear and gave him the name "Hassan."
Hazrat Hassan (saas) was one of the young people who swore allegiance
to Rasulullah (saas) while still a child. He was brought up with his
immaculate education. He is the subject of much praisefrom Rasulullah
(saas) in many hadiths.
When he was eight, helost first his grandfather, the Prophet Muhammed
(saas), and then his mother, Hazrat Fatima(pbuh). He was then raised
by his father, Hazrat Ali (pbuh). Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) had an
attractive, white face, and resembled our Prophet (saas) more than
anyone else.
Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) was filled with the love of Allah, gentle,
dignified, peace-loving, compassionate, patient and virtuous. He spent
his possessions on Allah's path and gave away much in alms. Hazrat
Hassan (pbuh) went on the hajj, on foot, 25times. He had 15 sons and
eight daughters. All his wives loved Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) very much.
Together with Hazrat Hussein (pbuh), Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) is one of
the two holy figures through whom the line of our Prophet (saas) has
come down to the present day.
Our Prophet's (saas) love and affection for Hazrat Hassan (pbuh)
Our Prophet (saas) loved Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) very much and treated
him with great affection. Several companions described how our prophet
(saas) loved his grandchildren and took an interest in andplayed with
them.
Al-Barra (pbuh): "I sawthe Prophet (saas) with Hassan on his
shoulder." (Imam Muhammed Bin Muhammed bin Suleyman er-Rudani, Great
Hadith Collection, Jam'ul-fawaid min Jami al-usul ve Majma az-Zawaid,
Vol. 5, İz Press, p. 13 )
ADNAN OKTAR: They traveled around on their grandfather's shoulders,
our Prophet (saas). One onthe right shoulder, one on the left. Our
Prophet (saas) used tocarry them round in the garden and such places,
or when going to the mosque. That was what they delighted in most,
clinging to their grandfather. They were both truly very cute,
masha'Allah. (11 June 2011)
Rasulullah (saas) loved Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) very much. He would joke
with him, place him on his lap, kiss him and allow him to play with
his blessed hair. Usama, son of Hazrat Zaid (pbuh) said this of our
Prophet (saas) :
"Rasulullah would put me on one knee and his grandson Hassan on the
other; then he would embrace us both and pray, "O Lord, have mercy on
them. Because I am most compassionate toward them." (Kutub-al-Sitte,
Translation and Commentary, Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Canan, Vol. 2, Akçağ
Press, Ankara, p.508)
As a young child, Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) would come to our Prophet
(saas) when he was praying and climb on his back and neck as he
prostrated himself. Because of hislove and compassion for Hazrat
Hassan (pbuh), Rasulullah (saas) would get up very slowly in order
that he should not fall off. Rasulullah (saas) would often call his
two grandsons, Hassan and Hussein, whom he described as"the two
pillars of the world," to him and embrace them to him.
Abû Ayyûb Ansârî (pbuh) relates: "One day, I came into the presence of
Rasulullah(saas). Hassan and Hussein were playing in front of him. 'O
Rasulullah, you must love them very much,' I said." "HOW COULD I NOT
LOVE THEM? THEY ARE MY TWO PILLARS IN THIS WORLD, WHOMI KISS AND
SMELL!" he said. (Bukhari, Fedailiu's-Sahabe 22, Edeb 18; Tirmidhi,
Menakib 30)
"Whoever loses the sun must turn to the moon. If he loses that, he
must turn to the stars." When the people of Qiram askedfor an
explanation of this hadith, Rasulullah (saas) said, "I AM THE SUN. THE
MOON IS ALI. Fadime is a star. THE TWO STARS NEAR THE NORTH POLE ARE
HASSAN AND HUSSEIN." (TamOSE İlmihâl Se'âdet-i Ebediyye sh-1011)
"Whoever loves Hassan and Hussein loves me, but whoeverhates them
hates me." (Ahmed b. Hanbel, Musnad, II, 288);
The caliphate of Hazrat Hassan (pbuh)
With the martyrdom of Hazrat Hassan's (pbuh) father, Hazrat Ali
(pbuh), he became caliph in 661 AD. Fortythousand people swore
allegiance to him. In the seventh month of his caliphate, as his and
Muawiyah's armies were making preparations for battle near Baghdad,
Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) relinquished the caliphate in favor of Muawiyah.
Because of this agreement in 661,that year was known as "Amu'l Camaa,"
the year of unity, in the history of Islam. At thesame time, this also
pointed to a miracle ofour Prophet's (saas). Because when Hazrat
Hassan (pbuh) was very young, Rasulullah(saas) pointed to him and
said, "This son of mine is a Sayyid. Almighty Allah will reconcile two
sides through him." No Muslim blood was spilled due to Hazrat Hassan's
(pbuh) relinquishing the caliphate, and peace and tranquility were
established. In this way, Rasulullah's (saas) words about Hazrat
Hassan (pbuh) came true.
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is descended from the line of Hazrat Hassan (pbuh)
In the hadiths, our Prophet (saas) describes " distinctive and
distinguishing" features of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) so that Muslims can
recognizehim. One of these is that "Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be
descended from the line of Hazrat Hassan (pbuh)."
"HAZRAT MAHDI IS ONEOF THE CHILDREN OF HAZRAT FADIME AND DESCENDED
FROM THE LINE OF HASSAN." (AbuDawud, Hazrat Mahdi, 1)
Tamman relates in his work the Fevaid, and Ibn Asaqir relates from
Abdullah b. Amr that he said : ONE WHOIS A CHILD OF HASSAN (HAZRAT
MAHDI) will appear from the East, and even if the mountains oppose him
he will overcome them and make paths for himself in the mountains.
(Ali Bin Hüsamettin al Muttaki,Hadiths from Jalaladdin Suyuti's
Classification – Portents of Hazrat Mahdi of the End Times, p. 22)
Rasulullah (saas) gave Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and Hazrat Hassan (pbuh)
the glad tidings of paradise
Hakim, Ibni Majah andAbu Naim related from Hazrat Enes; I heard
Rasulullah (saas) say: Seven people from among the sons of
Abdulmuttalip are the lords of paradise. Me, Hamza, Ali, Jaffar,
HASSAN, Hussein and HAZRAT MAHDI. (Ali Bin Hüsamettin al Muttaki,
Hadiths from Jalaladdin Suyuti's Classification – Portents of Hazrat
Mahdi of the End Times, Kahraman Press, p. 19)
What Hazrat Ali (pbuh) said about Hazrat Hassan (pbuh), Hazrat Hussein
(pbuh) and his own martyrdom
Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) was exposed to various forms of persecution
during the 10-year period of the Imams. He was noteven safe in his own
home and he was eventually poisoned and martyred in the 50 th year of
the hegira.
ADNAN OKTAR : Look, what does my forebear say? My beloved Hazrat Ali
(pbuh) said: "I swear to Allah that I and my two sons Hassan and
Hussein will be martyred." He swore to Allah while he was still alive.
Our Prophet (saas) said, you and you and you, the threeof you will be
martyred. He swore that since it came through revelation. Look, Hazrat
Ali (pbuh) said: "Thanks be to Allah, I swear to Allah I and these two
sons of mine will be martyred." "And he will send one of my
descendants," (Hazrat Mahdi) he says. "He will seek our blood and take
vengeance for us." How? Throughestablishing a global reign. The line
of the Prophet (saas) had come to an end, hadn'tit? But he will
appear, and the line of the Prophet (saas) will establish a global
reign, insha'Allah. Millions of sayyid will rise up, in the
spiritualsense, insha'Allah. He says he will seek our blood. The blood
of Hazrat Hassan (pbuh) and Hazrat Hussein (pbuh) and Hazrat Ali
(pbuh) will be smeared on Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) brow. He will take
revenge for them. That is his global reign, the elimination of
disbelief. Of course, the blood is rubbed onhis brow in three lines,
insha'Allah, insha'Allah.
