Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Al-hasan Al-mujtaba Fabrication Against Imam Al-hasan In his book al-Tarikh (history), al-Tabari has narrated a fabricated tradition in which there are some fabrications against Imam al-Hasan. We will mention the tradition to readers, and then we will explain that which refutes the fabrications therein.

He has mentioned that al-Hasan walked towards his father after the mutiny of Talha and al-Zubayr and said to him: -I had commanded you, but you disobeyed me. You will be killed today in loss, and you shall have no supporter. -You still yearns (for Uthman) just as a slave girl does. What had you commanded me with, and I disobeyed you? -I commanded you to leave Medina on the day when Uthman was surrounded, that he might be killed while you were not there.

On the day when he was killed, I commanded you not to accept the pledge of allegiance until the delegations and the Arabs from the cities would come to you. When these two men (Talha and al-Zubayr) had done what they did, I commanded you to sit down in your house until they made peace with each other. If there had been corruption, it would have been done through the hand of someone other than you. You had disobeyed me in all of that.

-O my little son, as for your statement ‘if I had gone out of Medina when Uthman was surrounded’, we were surrounded as Uthman was surrounded. As for your statement ‘do not accept the pledge of allegiance until the pledge of [^1] Thi Qaar was a water (well) belonged to Bakr bin Wa’il. It was near Kufa. It was between Kufa and Wasit. (This has been mentioned in) Mu‘jam al-Buldan, vol. 7, p. 8.

allegiance of the cities will come’, most surely the affair belonged to the people of Medina, and we hated to let this affair get lost. As for your statement ‘when Talha and al-Zubayr mutinied’, that was a weakness against the men of Islam. By Allah I have been defeated since I was appointed as a ruler, and wsa deprived that I could not reach anything I wanted. As for your statement ‘sit down in your house’, what shall I do in respect of that which is obligatory on me?

Or what do you want me to do? Do you want me to be like a hyena which is surrounded and it is said to it: Come out! Come out!?[^1] It is not here until its hock appears, and then it comes out. If I do not reflect on what is incumbent on and concerns me, so who will reflect on it?
