According to Husayn Muhammad Ja'fari in his book, ''[[Tashayyu' dar masir-i tarikh]]'' (Shiism in the course of history), many companions of the Prophet (s) who had resided in [[Kufa]] after the construction of the city or had moved to the city in the period of Imam 'Ali's caliphate pledged their allegiance to Imam al-Hasan (a) or otherwise accepted his caliphate.<ref>Jaʿfarī, ''Tashayyuʿ dar masīr-i tārīkh'', p. 158.</ref> Ja'fari relies on certain pieces of evidence to show that people of Mecca and Medina also agreed with the caliphate of al-Hasan b. 'Ali, and people of Iraq considered him as the only candidate for the position.<ref>Jaʿfarī, ''Tashayyuʿ dar masīr-i tārīkh'', p. 158-160.</ref> According to Ja'fari, people of [[Yemen]] and Fars ([[Persia]]) had also implicitly endorsed his caliphate, or at least, they showed no opposition thereto.<ref>Jaʿfarī, ''Tashayyuʿ dar masīr-i tārīkh'', p. 161.</ref> | According to Husayn Muhammad Ja'fari in his book, ''[[Tashayyu' dar masir-i tarikh]]'' (Shiism in the course of history), many companions of the Prophet (s) who had resided in [[Kufa]] after the construction of the city or had moved to the city in the period of Imam 'Ali's caliphate pledged their allegiance to Imam al-Hasan (a) or otherwise accepted his caliphate.<ref>Jaʿfarī, ''Tashayyuʿ dar masīr-i tārīkh'', p. 158.</ref> Ja'fari relies on certain pieces of evidence to show that people of Mecca and Medina also agreed with the caliphate of al-Hasan b.

According to some sources, certain conditions were proposed at the time of allegiance. For example, the book, ''[[al-Imama wa l-siyasa]]'', reports that al-Hasan b. 'Ali told people, "will you pledge your allegiance on the condition that you obey me, and you fight whomever I fight, and you make peace with whomever I make peace?" Upon hearing these words, some people became hesitant. Thus, they went to al-Husayn b. 'Ali to make their allegiance to him, but he said, "I refuge to God from letting you make allegiance to me as long as al-Hasan is still alive."<ref>Ibn Qutayba, ''al-Imāma wa l-sīyāsa'', vol. 1, p. 184.</ref> They went back and made allegiance with al-Hasan b.

'Ali. [[Muhammad b. Jarir al-Tabari (disambiguation)|Al-Tabari]] (d. 310/922-3) says that when Qays b. Sa'd pledged his allegiance to him, he stated the condition that he acts upon the [[Book of God]] and the [[Tradition of the Prophet (s)]] and to fight those who permit the shedding of the bloods of Muslims. However, al-Imam al-Hasan (a) only accepted the Book of God and the Tradition of the Prophet (s), suggesting that every other condition should derive from these two.<ref>Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-Ṭabarī'', vol. 5, p. 158.</ref> Some people concluded from these reports that Imam al-Hasan (a) was a pacifist, war averse person, and his practice was different from that of his father and brother.<ref>Encyclopedia Iranica</ref>.<ref>Jaʿfarī, ''Tashayyuʿ dar masīr-i tārīkh'', p. 161.</ref> | ||
[[Rasul Ja'fariyan]] believes that these conditions did not mean that al-Hasan b. 'Ali did not intend to go to war since early on. Instead, his main goal was to protect his authority as the leader of the society to freely make decisions, and his subsequent actions show that he insisted upon war.<ref>Jaʿfarīyan, ''Ḥayāt-i fikrī wa sīyāsī-yi aʾimma'', p. 132.</ref> According to [[Abu l-Faraj Isfahani]], one of the first measures taken by al-Hasan b. 'Ali (a) after his ascension to caliphate was a one-hundred percent increase of the wages of warriors.<ref>Abū l-Faraj al-Iṣfahānī, ''Maqātil al-ṭālibīyyīn'', p. 64.</ref> | [[Rasul Ja'fariyan]] believes that these conditions did not mean that al-Hasan b.
