Imam al-Hasan al-'Askari (a) was brought to [[Samarra]] with his father in [[233]]/847 when he was one year old and lived there until the end of his life.<ref>Nubakhti, ''Firaq al-Shi'a'', p. 92</ref> | |||
Imam al-Hasan al-'Askari (a) lived most of his life in Samara and it is famously said that he (a) was the only Imam who did not go to [[hajj]]; however, in ''[['Uyun akhbar al-Rida (a)]]'' and ''[[Kashf al-ghumma]]'', there is a [[hadith]], the narrator of which says that he heard that hadith from Imam al-'Askari (a) in [[Mecca]].<ref>al-Shaykh al-Saduq, '''Uyun akhbar al-Rida'', vol. 2, p. 135; Irbili, ''Kashf al-ghumma'', 1405AH, vol, 3. p. 198</ref> Except this trip to Mecca, some sources have also reported his journey to [[Jurjan]] as well.<ref>Irbili, ''Kashf al-ghumma'', 1405AH, vol, 3. p. 198</ref> | |||
