.
Allah Almighty has bestowed honour, fazeelat and blessing to this month.
On 10th of this month the 11th successor of holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him & his progeny)
Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S)
bin Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S) was born in Medina al Munawwara in the year 232 A.HAbu Hamza Nasir al Khadim Said: “I heard Hazrat Abu Muhammad (al Hassan al Askari) speaking on more than one occasion to his servants in their own languages. Among them were Turks, men from Byzantium and form Saqaliba (in the Caucasus). I was born in Medina. He did not show himself to anyone until Hazrat Abu al Hassan (al Haadi) died, and no one saw him how is this?
I was saying this to myself. He (Imam) came up to me and said: “Allah has separated His proof (to the world) from the rest of his creatures and has given him the knowledge of every thing. He knows languages; genealogies and events if it was not for that, there would be no difference between the proof and those who are given the proof”.
Imam Hasan Askari (A.S) the father of Imam Al-Asr (A.S) saheb-azzaman (Controller of the era) (Ajja lallahu Farajahu) was an embodiment of knowledge, tolerance, patience, endurance, honor, dignity, generosity, courage, bravery and valour. During Imam’s 28 years of lifetime he was imprisoned many times by Abbasid Caliph Motamid who ruled for 23 years. Historian Masoodi has evaluated the number of brutal killings and murders during his reign above 5 lakh.
Imam once wrote in his letter to Ali ibne Babweh Qummi:
“Praise be to Allah. As you are form our shias so I advise you:

out of the mountain as the people of Samoud to whom the prophet Saleh was sent by Allah asked him for
this as a proof of his prophet-hood.
“Show us a sign, if what you say be true”
after the she-camel came out the mountain Hazrat Saleh (A.S) said to his people.
“A clear proof has come to you form your Lord. Here is Allah’s she-camel a sign for you”.
“She shall have her share of water as you have your on an appointed day”
“Leave her to graze at will in Allah’s land and don’t molest her, lest you incur a woeful punishment”.
But they (people of Samoud) hamstrang the she-camel and then slaughtered her. Her baby camel ran to the mountain and cried out in heart-rending voice. There upon an earthquake seized them and they were prostrated in their dwellings as though they had never prospered there.
This she- camel was ten fold big than an ordinary she-camel and that mountain from which it was came out is in Syria.
