Peace Treaty of Imam al-Hasan (a): Difference between revisions

'''The peace treaty of Imam al-Ḥasan (a)''' (Arabic: {{ia|(صلح الإمام الحسن (ع}}) refers to a peace treaty between [[Imam Hasan b. Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] with [[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan|Mua'wiya]] ([[Abu Sufyan]]'s offspring) in [[41]]/661, after [[Imam Ali]]'s (a) demise. This treaty was made after the war whose cause was Mu'awiya's greed and his rejection to pledge allegiance to Imam al-Hasan (a), [[caliph]] of Muslims. It is said that due to people's disloyalty, some commanders' betrayal, protection of [[Shi'as]], and the threat of [[Khawarij]], Imam al-Hasan (a) was forced to sign the treaty. Based on this peace treaty,[[caliphate]] was handed on to Mu'awiya. This treaty included some provisions, the most important of which was Mu'awiya not assigning a successor, not to conspire against Imam al-Hasan (a), and to protect Muslims' lives. Mu'awiya conformed to none of these conditions afterwards. Imam al-Hasan (a): "If I had had a supporter, I would not have handed the caliphate on to Mu'awiya, for the caliphate is prohibited for [[Banu Umayya]]."
