It is narrated that Al-Mu'tamid, the Abbasid Caliph had kept a spy to
keep a watchful eye on our 11th Imam, Imam Hasan Askari's (as)
movements.
One day, a Shia (follower of Imam Hasan Askari (as)) sent some
pomegranates to him as a gift. The pomegranates were placed in front
of Imam Hasan Askari (as).
The spy, who happened to be present at that time, kept on staring at
the pomegranates longingly. When Imam Hasan Askari (as) noticed this
behaviour, despite his knowledge about him, Imam Hasan Askari (as)
picked up one pomegranate and gave it to the spy. The spy took it but
did not eat it.
Imam Hasan Askari (as) asked him: "Why aren't you eating the
pomegranate I gave you?" He said, "I have five children and I never
eat without them. I was just wondering how I will share this one
pomegranate with them"?
Imam Hasan Askari (as) felt pity for him and gave away all the
pomegranates to him. The man refused but Imam Hasan Askari (as)
insisted saying: "If your children eat these, it is better than I eat
them!"
Innumerable true stories of our Holy Imams are written in the books,
from which we can learn a lot. Studying the lives of our Holy
personalities is important to all of us and to pass it over to our
children. In conclusion we should raise our hands in supplication and
pray that may Allah (SWT) guide us all to the path of the Ahlul Bayt
(as) and give us Taufeeq to practice what they have taught us. Ameen

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
