The birth of Hassan ibn Ali (AS) and his childhood

When he was born, the Prophet (SAW) cuddled him lovingly in his arms and whispered the "Azan" in his right ear and "Iqamah" in his left ear.

Imam Hassan was cared and loves by his grandfather for seven years. In his childhood he accompanied the Prophet (SAW) to the mosque and when he (SAW) prostrated, he would climb upon his shoulders. The Prophet (SAW) would remain in prostration for a longer time and let the child sit on his shoulders.

Imam Hassan (AS) was one of the four persons who accompanied the Prophet (SAW) under the `Aba" (cloak) when God sent down this verse:

"Allah"s wish is but to remove uncleanness from you, O people of the Household and cleanse you with a thorough cleansing." (33:33)

Once when Christian scholars had come to Medina to talk to the Prophet (SAW) and to enquire about his call to Islam, a heated debate ensued. For this reason, each party took their dearest of kin to the dessert and appealed to Allah to curse the party who uttered falsehood.

The Prophet (SAW) took Imam Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussain (AS) to the desert. When the Christian scholars saw the children of the Prophet (SAW), they gave up the idea of calling down the curse of Allah on the loser of the debate.
