Hadith.2621 - Abdul Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj asked Abu al-Hasan (as) about a Muhrim wearing khazz (a type of fabric). Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in it."

Of the proofs of the Imamate of Ibn Hasan, in addition to what has been mentioned so far, is that there is no dispute between the Ummah that a Mahdi will rise in this Ummah, who would fill the earth with justice and equity as it shall be fraught with oppression and inequity.

Hadith.3460 - Al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Washsha' asked Abu al-Hasan (as) about a man who made his bondwoman mudabbar (to be freed after his death) while she was pregnant. Imam (as) said: "If he knew about the pregnancy of the bondwoman, then what is in her womb has the same status as her (i.e., it is also mudabbar). But if he did not know, then what is in her womb remains in bondage (not mudabbar)." Al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Washsha' further asked him about a man who made his slave mudabbar while he was financially well-off, but later he became needy. Imam (as) said: "Yes, if he becomes in need, it is permissible for him to sell the slave."

Hadith.4784 - Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar wrote to Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali (as) regarding a woman whose husband had passed away while she was still in her waiting period (iddah) and who was in need, with no one to provide for her, and she worked for people. He asked whether it was permissible for her to leave her house, work, and even stay away from her home overnight for work and necessity during her waiting period. Imam (as) responded: "There is no harm in that, God willing."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah (saww) has said, ‘The best of your women are those who cook nice, smell nice, when spending she spends what is proper and withholds what is proper. That is a worker from Allah and a worker from Allah does not fail.’”

“You should not stand to pray behind three people: an unfamiliar person; someone who ascribes certain boastful attributes to the Divine Leaders, even if he expresses the same beliefs as you do; and one who is corrupt even if he is not boastful about the Divine Leaders.”

Do you want me to tell you from whom the fire will be forbidden in the Hereafter? The people said, “O Prophet of God! Yes.” God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “Humble ones; sociable ones; helpful ones; and simple ones.”

“As if I see our Shia in the mosque of Kufa setting up pavilions to teach the people the Qur’an as it has been revealed but when our Qa’im appears, he will destroy it (the mosque) and level its mihrab to the ground.”

Hadith.4838 - In the narration of Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, a man said: I said to Abu Al-Hasan (as), "I told my wife, 'You are to me as the back of my mother if you leave the room,' and she left." Imam (as) replied: "There is nothing upon you." I said: "But I am capable of offering expiation." Imam (as) replied: "There is nothing upon you." I said: "I am capable of freeing one or even two slaves as expiation." Imam (as) said: "There is nothing upon you, whether you are capable or not."

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Whoever sleeps out of exhaustion from seeking the halal, he sleeps forgiven.

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: When a man prepares his shroud, he is rewarded for every time he looks at it.

I wrote to Abi Ja’far the Second عليه السلام: May I be made your ransom - should I pray behind the one who believes in ‘a corporeal body (for God)’ and the one who follows the position of Yunus, that is the son of Abd al-Rahman?

God’s Prophet (MGB) taught Ali (MGB) a gate to knowledge which opens the doors to one-thousand gates to knowledge each of which opens up to the gates to another one- thousand gates.”

“The master of this matter (al-Qa’im) has a likeness to Prophet Joseph and his mother is a black bondmaid. Allah will make him succeed within a night.”

“When abu al-Hassan (a.s.), had lunch and the hand-basin was brought, he (the Imam) was the first to wash his hand while he (the Imam) was sitting in the middle of the assembly room, and he (the Imam) said, ‘Begin with one who is on your right side . 5 When one made wudu the servant wanted to remove the hand-basin, but abu al-Hassan (a.s.), said to him, ‘Leave it so that you can wash your hands in it . 555

“I said to Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as): If the present imam of Ahlul Bayt leaves to the better world, with what will the next one be recognized?” He said: “With guidance, calmness, gravity, acknowledging his virtue by Muhammad’s progeny and that he will not be asked about anything in the east or in the west unless he will give the right answer.”
