Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Al-hasan Al-mujtaba Chapter Xxii : To Yathrib (medina) Imam al-Hasan remained in Kufa for some days. He was heavy-hearted. Cares and pain appeared on him. He met from his followers bitter words and rude criticism. Likewise, he met from Mu’awiya and his party making light of his high position. Nevertheless, he was patient anticipating Allah’s reward. He restrained his anger and entrusted his affair to Allah.

He decided to leave Iraq-the country that deserted him and had deserted his father before-for the city of his grandfather. He showed his determination and intention to his companions. When that was announced, al-Musayyab bin Nujba al-Fazari and Zabyan bin ‘Ammarah al-Tamimi[^1] went to see him off. He turned to them while his sacred soul was full of pain and sorrow at what the Muslims had reached. He said to them: “Praise belongs to Allah Who is Master of His affair!

If all the creatures had agreed on that which was not to be, they could not (do it).” From his speech we understand that he submitted to Allah’s decree. He was sad and distressed for losing his legal right. Al-Musayyab saw that sadness appeared on the faces of al-Hasan and al-Husayn out of fear that their followers would be wronged during the time of this tyrant (Mu’awiya).

So he turned to them, calmed their fear, and said to them: “By Allah, this affair is not great to us except that you will be wronged and disparaged.

As for us, they will request our affection as far as possible.” Imam al-Husayn thanked him for his allegiance and loyalty, saying: “O Musayyab, we know that you love us.” Imam al-Hasan turned to him and gave him good news of his love for them, saying: “Whoever loves some people is with them.” Al-Musayyab and Zabyan asked Imam al-Hasan to stay in Kufa, but he refused to respond to them, saying: “There is no way to that.”[^2] [^1] Zabyan bin ‘Ammarah al-Tamimi narrated traditions on the authority of Imam Ali, the Commander of the faithful, peace be on him.

Al-Bukhari has mentioned him as among his companions. Ibn Hatam and Ibn Habban have regarded him as among the successors. This has been mentioned in (the book) al-Isaba, vol. 2, p. 232. In the book Lisan al-Mizan, vol.3, p. 215, it has been mentioned: “Ibn Habban has regarded Zabyan as among the trustworthy. Ibn Hatam has not criticized him.” [^2] Ibn Abi al-Hadeed, Sharh Nahj al-Balagha, vol. 4, p.6. Imam al-Hasan (a.s) got ready to travel.
