The Second Imam Imam al-Hasan (as) is the son of Amir al-Mu\u2019minin \u2018Ali b. Abi Talib (as) and Fatimah Zahra (as), the best of women, and daughter of the Holy Prophet (S).<\/p>\n
Imam al-Hasan (as) was born in Medina on the eve of Ramadan 15, in the year 3 A.H. He was the first son born to \u2018Ali (as) and Fatimah (as).<\/p>\n
The Holy Prophet (S) took hold of him right after his birth and recited adhan<\/em> in his right ear, and iqama<\/em> in the left one. Then, he sacrificed a sheep for him, cut short his hair and gave its equivalent weight in silver \u2013 a bit more than a dirham<\/em> \u2013 to the poor.<\/p>\n The Prophet (S) had his head perfumed; and since then the rituals of sacrificing a sheep (\u2018aqiqa<\/em>) and giving alms equal to the weight of the head hair of the newly born babies became a tradition. He named this baby Hasan, a name which had been unprecedented in Jahiliyya<\/em> (during pagan period). He was also given his only patronymic, Abu Muhammad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Second Imam Imam al-Hasan (as) is the son of Amir al-Mu\u2019minin \u2018Ali b.
