Since the time of al-Hasan until today, there have been reports to the effect that he rejected [[Imams of the Shia]], particularly Imam 'Ali (a). For example, [[al-Tabrisi]] has narrated a story according to which, in [[Basra]], 'Ali (a) asked al-Hasan about the reason why he did not participate in the [[Battle of Jamal]], and al-Hasan responded by saying that both killers and the killed in this battle would go to the [[Hell]]. On another account, after the Battle of Jamal and the arrival of Imam 'Ali (a) in Basra, the Imam addressed al-Hasan who wanted to take notes of his remarks and said: "every nation has a [[Samiri]], and the Samiri of our nation is al-Hasan who does not believe in wars." Moreover, it is said that al-Hasan did not join [[Imam al-Husayn]]'s army in [[Karbala]] on purpose. | Since the time of al-Hasan until today, there have been reports to the effect that he rejected [[Imams of the Shia]], particularly Imam 'Ali (a).

As to the first two reports, it should be said that they have no chains of transmitters, and cannot be true historically speaking, because the Battle of Jamal occurred in 36/656 when al-Hasan was only fifteen (at most). Aside from these and from other hadiths in which al-Hasan confirmed Imam 'Ali's actions in the Battle of Jamal, [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] provides another account of the first report in his al-Amali. On this account, al-Hasan did not rudely answer the Imam's question. Instead, he asked him to give him a piece of advice. As to the third report, al-Hasan was not present in Karbala, probably because he was not aware of Imam al-Husayn's arrival in Karbala, just like other people from Basra who wanted to help the Imam (a), but failed to find an occasion to join him. Furthermore, [[Ibn Ziyad]] had closed all ways leading to Karbala. Moreover, it is reported that al-Hasan was so attached to [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] that upon hearing the news about Imam al-Husayn's [[martyrdom]], he wept and said: "may God humiliate the nation that killed the son of his Prophet." | As to the first two reports, it should be said that they have no chains of transmitters, and cannot be true historically speaking, because the [[Battle of Jamal]] occurred in 36/656 when al-Hasan was only fifteen (at most).

Al-Hasan took measures to propagate some doctrines taught by Imams of the Shia and the overall Shiite doctrines, including the rejection of the possibility of [[seeing God]], [[intercession]], [[Mahdawiyya]], the Imamate of the Imams from Ahl al-Bayt (a) and their number, rejection of [[qiyas]] (or analogy), [[taqiyya]] (precautionary dissimulation), the ruling about children of non-Muslims, the [[Prophet's Mi'raj]] (or Ascent), egregious mistakes by the Caliphs, [[temporary marriage]], the Prophet's heritage, sanctification of prominent Shiite figures, such as [[Salman al-Farsi]] and [['Ammar b. Yasir]]. | Al-Hasan took measures to propagate some doctrines taught by Imams of the Shia and the overall Shiite doctrines, including the rejection of the possibility of [[seeing God]], [[intercession]], [[Mahdawiyya]], the Imamate of the Imams from Ahl al-Bayt (a) and their number, rejection of [[qiyas]] (or analogy), [[taqiyya]] (precautionary dissimulation), the ruling about children of non-Muslims, the [[Prophet's Mi'raj]] (or Ascent), egregious mistakes by the Caliphs, [[temporary marriage]], the Prophet's heritage, sanctification of prominent Shiite figures, such as [[Salman al-Farsi]] and [['Ammar b.
