Point #2: IMAM HASAN’S (a-s) OUTSTANDING INTELLECTUAL CAPACITIES:
“And of men and beasts and cattle are various species of it likewise; those of HIS servants only who are possessed of knowledge fear ALLAH; surely ALLAH is the All-Mighty, the All-Forgiving”. (The Glorious Qur’an35 Fatir-28)
The Holy Prophet and Messenger of ALLAH (swt); Prophet Muhammad (saww) said: “If wisdom was imagined in a man, he would be Hasan” (Fara’id al-Simtayn, vol. 2, p. 68)
Imam Hasan’s (a-s) remarkable and outstanding knowledge was incontestably of the highest possible eminence. Imam Hasan Al-Mujtaba (a-s) in his infallibility, pureness, piety and generosity mixed with his highest of intellectual capacity, made him without any doubt an incomparable source of guidance and divine knowledge to all mankind in his time period.
Imam Hasan Al-Mujtaba (a-s) said: “Teach your knowledge to others and try to teach yourself the knowledge of others” (Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 78, p. 111)
The King of Rome sent two queries to Mu’awiya: “Which house is in the middle of the heavens?” and “What is the place where the sun only shines once?” Of course Mu’awiya could not answer such questions, for questions like these were way beyond his mental capacities and knowledge, so he asked these questions to Imam Hasan Al-Mujtaba (a-s) who answered them promptly and without effort: “The house in the middle of the heavens is the back of the Kaba and the place where the sun shines only once is the spot in the Nile river where Prophet Musa (a-s) hit with his staff and it opened to make a path to safety”. (Akhlaq-e-Aaimma, by Sayyed Zafar Hasan Amrohi (r-d)).
Imam Hasan Al-Mujtaba (a-s) said: “Praise and Eulogy is for ALLAH (swt) who hears the conversation of who so ever talks and if he remains silent then HE knows whatever is there in his soul. And whoever lives, his sustenance is upon ALLAH and whoever dies his resurrection is with ALLAH”. (Bihar Ul-Anwar, vol. 78, p.112)
Imam Hasan (a-s) instantly became acquainted with all the ******* of any of Qur’anic verses revealed when the Holy Prophet (saww) would reveal it to his (saww) followers. To the great surprise of Prophet Muhammad (saww), Sayyeda Fatimah Az-Zahra (s-a) would often recite the exact **** of a newly revealed verse, before he (saww) had time to relate it personally to her (s-a). When he (saww) would ask Fatimah (s-a) about it, she (s-a) would tell him (saww) that it was through Imam Hasan (a-s) that she (s-a) learned the Revelation. Imam Hasan (a-s) was around 5 or 6 years old at the time. In human perfection Imam Hasan (a-s) was reminiscent of his father and a perfect example of his noble grand father; the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saww). (Al-Allamah as-Sayyed Muhammad Hussayn at-Tabataba’i (r-a).
Imam Hasan Al-Mujtaba (a-s) said: “All the beneficences of both the worlds come to the hand and are achieved by the mind”. (Bihar Ul-Anwar, vol. 78, p. 111)
