The peace treaty of Imam Hasan (as) 1 - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief The peace treaty of Imam Hasan (as) 1 2021-06-22 1017 Views Mu’awiyah , Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba , Peace Treaty It is taken for granted for anyone who read something about the Imamiyah sect that they attribute kufr to Mu’awiyah because he fought Ali.
However, the fact is that Al-Hasan ibn Ali – and he is one of the infallible Imams according to the Shia, therefore whatever he says is truth – made peace with Mu’awiyah…So, did the “infallible” Hasan made peace with a kafir and gave him the leadership?
Or he made peace between two parties of Muslims as the Prophet peace be upon him says: “My son is a master, and Allah may use him to make peace between two parties of Muslims.” (1) Contents Reply One Reply Two Reply Three Reply Four Even if someone calls Muawiyah a Kaafir, then that is no insult on Imam Hasan (as) for making peace treaty with him, since our infallible Prophet (s.a.w.a) negotiated peace with the kaafirs at Hudaibiya, contrary to the criticisms of `Umar.
Is Abu Sulaiman also now going to criticize Rasulullah? Mu’awiya was professing that he was a Muslim (though his stance towards Ahlul-Bayt (as) has been contrary to his claim of being a Muslim), hence the agreement was indeed between two Muslim groups, but his subsequent conduct in breaching the conditions of the agreement bear testimony to the fact that he was a fasiq.
Since Nawasib for centuries have been asking reasons on Imam Hassan’s stance of making peace with Muaiwyah, we shall now explain why Imam Hasan (as) made peace with Mu’awiya, and shall counter the claim that his making peace proves that Mu’awiya was the rightful khalifa. Reply One Why did the Prophet (s.a.w.a) make peace with the Kuffar of Makka at Hudaibya? The Makkan Kuffar were known for their bad character and evil nature, and yet the Prophet (s.a.w.a) made peace with such individuals.
He made a binding covenant with the Kuffar, one which even meant (under the terms) that they would not perform Hajj rather only Umrah, and that any Kaafir that reverted had to be returned to his tribesman. On the written treaty the Prophet (s.a.w.a) even agreed to have his title ‘Prophet of Allah’ being removed.
The treaty of Hudaibya was an act that even the brave lion Umar al Farooq vigorously opposed, so much so that he stated that he had ‘never doubted the Prophethood as much as he did on that day’.
