Some miracles of Imam Hasan

(May Allah be well pleased with him)

 

Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) is the grandson of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and the Leader of all youth in paradise.  Here, we present some miracles of the Imam (May Allah be well pleased with him).

Divine punishment to the one who disrespected Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him)

The famous Hadith-expert of 6th century Hijri Imam Abul Qasim Ali bin Hasan famously known as Ibn Asaker (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) relates a Tradition from the famous Successor Imam A’amash (May Allah shower His Mercy on him):

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Imam A’amash (May Allah shower His Mercy on him), a wretch defecated on the blessed grave of Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him).  He immediately went mad.  He kept barking like a dog until he died.  Even after his death, horrible sounds of barking could be heard.  (Tareekh Dimashq, Vol. 13, Pg. No. 305; Jame’ Karaamaat Ul Auliya, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 131)

Imam Yousuf Nabhani (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) has also related this in his book Jame’ Karaamaat Ul Auliya on the authority of Abu Nu’aim and Tabaqaat Manaavi.

This shows that if the beloved of Allah Most High are insulted, then such punishment is given that the world remembers it for a long time.  Allah Most High took away all sense from that person and made him a lunatic.  His lunacy was not the usual lunacy.  Instead that person would bark like a dog.  He lived his life like this and died in the same state.

Through the blessings of Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him), an Abyssinian gets a baby

The great saint of 9th century Hijri Hadhrat Nooruddin Abdur Rahman bin Ahmad Jami Khorasani (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) has written in Shawaahid Un Nubuwwah:

Hadhrat Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) was going to Makkah by foot for Hajj.  His blessed feet had become swollen.  His slave requested him to use a mount, but the Imam didn’t accept his request.  He told the slave:  When you reach your destination, you will meet an Abyssinian.  Buy oil from him.  The slave says:  We didn’t find any medicine at any other place.  When we reached our destination, the Imam said:  That is the slave.  Go!  Buy oil from him and pay him.

When they met the Abyssinian, he asked them: For whom are you buying the oil.  They said:  For Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him).  He said:  Take me to him.  I am his slave.

That Abyssinian requested the Imam:  I will not take the price of oil from you.  Just pray for my wife, who is in labor right now, that Allah Most High should grant her a healthy baby.

The Imam said:  Go home.  Allah Most High will grant you a child as per your wishes.  He will be our follower.

The Abyssinian returned home and found the situation as the Imam had foretold.  (Shawaahid Un Nubuwwah, Pg. No. 302)

Fresh dates appear out of nowhere

It is also mentioned in Shawaahid Un Nubuwwah:

Hadhrat Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) was traveling along with a son of Hadhrat Zubair (May Allah be well pleased with him).  They rested in a dried up orchard.

Hadhrat Zubair’s son said:  If only there were fresh dates that we could have.  The Imam said:  Do you want to have fresh dates?  He said:  Yes.  The Imam raised his hands in prayer.  Suddenly a date tree sprung up and became laden with fresh dates.

A friend of Hadhrat Zubair’s son said:  This is magic.  The Imam said:  This is not magic.  It is the effect of the prayer of the Prophet’s son.

Then people plucked the fresh dates from that tree and everyone was satiated.  (Shawaahid Un Nubuwwah, Pg. No. 302; Shahaadatnaama, Pg. No. 93)

Poison couldn’t affect the Imam

The famous jurisprudent of the Maliki School of jurisprudence of 5th century Hijri, Hadhrat Ibn Abdul Barr (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) has related a Tradition:

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Umair bin Ishaq (May Allah shower His Mercy on him), he says: We were with Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him)….He said:  I have been poisoned by deception many times, but never like this.  It was the effect of this poison that I have spat out a piece of my liver.  Out of astonishment, I took a stick and kept turning over and over.

Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) said:  Who poisoned you?Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) asked:  What will you do?  Kill him?

Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) said: Yes!

Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) said:  Let it be.  If it is the person I think, then Allah Most High will give the severest punishment.  If it is not, I don’t want an innocent to be killed on my account.  (Al Istiya’ab Fi Ma’arifati Ashaab)

All the scholars agree that the miracles of the saints are a blessing of Prophethood.  That Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) was not affected by poisoning was the blessing of the miracle of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) that He was not affected by the poisoning of a Jewish woman.

The path becomes radiant for Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him)

Imam Abu Nu’aim Ahmad bin ‘Abdullah Asfahani (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) writes:

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well pleased with him) that once Hadhrat Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) was present before the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) on a dark night.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) loved the Imam a lot.  The Imam said:  I want to go to my mother.  Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well pleased with him) asked the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam):  Shall I go with him?  Suddenly a radiance came from the sky and Imam Hasan (May Allah be well pleased with him) walked in its wake and reached his mother.  (Dalaail Un Nubuwwah, Hadith No. 487)
