                                                             Spiritual Journey  253

                     AL  Hasan  and  AL  Hussain  are  the  masters  of
                  paradise's youths.
                     Yes,  they  deserve  that  high  status  because  of  their

                  sacrifice and their good morals.
                     When Al-Hassan was born, Muhammad slaughtered
                  a ram for the poor on the occasion of his birth, and he
                  chose a name of "Al-Hasan" for him. Fatimah shaved
                  his head and gave the weight of his hair as silver to the poor.
                     According to Shi'ite belief, theirs was the only house
                  that archangel Gabriel allowed  to  have  a  door  to  the
                  courtyard of al-Masjid an-Nabawi ("the Mosque of the
                  Prophet").  Both  Shi‘ite  and Sunni Muslims  consider
                  Al-Hasan  to  belong  to  the Bayt 'Household')  of
                  Muhammad, Ahl al-Kisa’ , "People of the Cloak"), and
                  participants of the Event of Mubahalah.
                     There  are  many  narrations  showing  the  respect  of
                  Muhammad  toward  his  grandsons,  including  the
                  statements  that  his  two  grandsons  would  be  "sayyedā
                  šabāb (masters  of  youth)  of  Paradise",  and  that  they
                  were Imams "whether they stand up or sit down". He also
                  reportedly  predicted  that  Hasan  would  make  peace
                  between two factions of Muslims (Madelung 1997, pp. 15-16).
                     The  Prophet  said:  Those  are  Imams  if  stood  or  sat
                  and  the  prophet  Mohamed  Asked  Hasan  to  testify
                  Despite his young age.
                     He took power for six months after the death of his
                  father, and supported by Qais bin Saad, he said to him:
                  To cooperate on the support of the book of God and the
                  methodology  of  the  Prophet  and  the  fight  against  the
                  violators, but AL Hassan said: (Cooperate on the Book
                  of Allah and the methodology of the Prophet they do
                  not are changing.
