His education The Prophet (a.s.) brought up and educated his grandson Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) and fed him with his own ideals. The other educator of Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) was his father Imam Ali (a.s.) who was the best educator in the world of Islam after the Prophet (a.s.). He also fed in his son his high ideals and morals.

His mother Fatima (a.s.), too, educated him with the loyal faith and the deep love to Allah the Almighty. Therefore, he was a copy to these three great, infallible persons. Fatima (a.s.) often sent al-Hasan and al-Husayn, peace be on them, to the meeting of their grandfather the messenger of Allah (a.s.) to learn his traditions and moralities. When they came back home, she asked them about what knowledge and wisdom they got in the meeting of their grandfather (a.s.).

Al-Hasan, who was seven years old, listened to the revelation in his grandfather’s meeting and memorized it. Then, he came to his mother Fatima (a.s.) to recite it before her. When Imam Ali (a.s.) came to her, he found that she had known about the revelation that had at once been revealed to the Prophet (a.s.). When he asked her about it, she replied that it was from her son al-Hasan (a.s.). Once, Imam Ali (a.s.) hid himself in his room.

For a moment, he was tongue-tied, and his mother asked kindly, ‘What is the matter with you?’ He said, ‘Do not be astonished at what has happened to me, for there is a Great One that takes care of me.’ Imam Ali (a.s.) came out and began kissing his son al-Hasan.

[1] His moralities All high qualities were available in Imam Abu Muhammad al-Hasan (a.s.), and this naturally was because he had been fed with his grandfather the Prophet (a.s.) and his father Imam Ali’s virtues. The following stories show the high morals Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) had. [1] The Life of Imam al-Hasan bin Ali, vol.1 p.74. One day, an old man from Sham trespassed against Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) and began abusing him.

Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) remained silent until the man finished his revilement, and then said to him kindly and smilingly, ‘O sheikh (old man), I think you are a stranger.
