Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Sulh Al-hasan the Peace Treaty of Al-hasan Epilogue Chapter 23: Comparison Between The Conditions Of Al- Hasan And The Conditions Of Al- Husayn Many people think that the Hashimite pride, which always resulted from honorable attitudes, was more appropriate for the attitude of al Husayn, peace be on him, than the attitude of al-Hasan, peace be on him. This is a primary viewpoint that suffers from the paucity of an innermost analysis and accuracy.

Al-Hasan was a Hashimite with high glory during all his attitudes. He was similar to his father and his brother in glory. Thus they were all an example to the original reformers in history. However, each one of them had a special jihad (armed struggle), message, and attitudes which he derived from the core of the conditions that surrounded him. These conditions were early examples of jihad, glory, supporting the usurped right to authority.

Al-Husayn faced death through killing during his condition, and al-Hasan retained his life through making peace (with Mu'awiya) during his condition. With these two ways they were able to continue their doctrine and to condemn their enemies. In the meantime these two ways were the necessary logical solutions for the problems of both conditions. These solutions were the best means, which al-Hasan and al-Husayn followed to please Allah, the Most High, not to win the life in this world.

They (i.e., the solutions) are the real victory that last throughout history though al-Hasan and al-Husayn were apparently deprived of their rights and their succession to authority. The two sacrifices (i.e., al-Husayn's sacrifice in his life, and al Hasan's sacrifice in his succession) are the utmost degrees to which the original leaders aspire during their human revolutionary attitudes. The time factors accompanied both al-Hasan and al-Husayn during their succession.

They created for each of them a private condition towards his supporters, and a private condition towards his enemy. In other words the two brothers had two different conditions. As their conditions were different, their ways of jihad were different. Therefore their ends were different. The following are the conditions their supporters and their enemies caused: The Conditions their Supporters caused For al-Husayn, peace be on him, he suffered from the treason of his Kufan companions.

Such a kind of treason helped al-Husayn take a step to pave the way for his glorious success in history.
