Abdullah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, was also waiting outside (So, I thought to myself that if your son does not have permission to enter, then how can I?). Thus, I returned with him.’ In response, Ameer al-Mumineen, Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said, ‘O my son, Husayn! You were more deserving than my own children of coming inside. After Allah, who caused the hair on our heads to grow? It is you, O family of the Prophet, who caused them to grow!’”^[1]

The love of the Lion of Allah for Imam Hasan

Sayyiduna Asbagh bin Nubaatah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states:

Sayyiduna Imam Hasan   رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ once became ill, and so Ameer al-Mumineen, Sayyiduna ‘Ali   رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, went to visit him, and we also accompanied him.

Imam Hasan رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ then said, “One day, my beloved grandfather, the mercy to the worlds, the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, said to me: ‘O my son! There is a tree in Paradise which is known as Shajarat al-Balwa; those who were afflicted by hardship will be gathered by that tree on the Day of Judgement, whereas the scale would not be placed yet, nor the books of deeds opened. They will be granted complete reward.’^[2] Then, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم recited this verse:
