Al-Hasan b. Ali (a) is the second Imam of the Shiʿa. He became the Imam after the martyrdom of his father on [[21 Ramadan]], [[40 AH]]/[[January 28]], [[661 CE]]. His imamate lasted for ten years. In ''[[al-Kafi]]'', [[al-Kulayni]] (d. 329/940-1) has collected the hadiths related to the appointment of al-Hasan (a) to [[imamate]]. According to one of these [[hadith]]s, before his martyrdom, Imam Ali (a) gave his books and weapon (from the [[Trusts of Imamate]]) to al-Hasan (a) in the presence of his children and some prominent Shiite figures, and announced that the Prophet (s) had commanded him to appoint al-Hasan (a) as the executor of his will. According to another hadith, when Imam Ali (a) was going to [[Kufa]], he left some of the Trusts of Imamate with [[Umm Salama]], and al-Hasan (a) received them from her when he returned from Kufa. | Al-Hasan b.
