Kindness that Shattered Hatered
The sun hung low in the sky as a weary traveler arrived in Madinah. He was a man from Syria, his mind filled with the words of Mu’awiyah, who had painted a dark picture of Imam Hassan (p) and his family. Fueled by this false image, the man sought out the grandson of the Prophet (pbhu&hp), ready to confront him.
Spotting Imam Hassan (p) in the streets, the Syrian man didn’t hold back. With anger in his voice, he hurled insults and accusations, his words sharp like daggers. The people of Madinah turned to see the scene unfold, expecting Imam Hassan (p) to respond in kind. But the Imam remained calm, his expression soft, his eyes filled with understanding rather than anger.
When the man finally paused, catching his breath, Imam Hassan (p) smiled gently and said, “O man, you seem like a stranger here. If you are in need, we will provide for you. If you are hungry, we will feed you. If you need shelter, we will offer you a place to stay.”
The Syrian was stunned. He had expected retaliation, maybe even punishment. But here was the very man he had been taught to despise, offering him kindness instead of hostility. His heart trembled, his anger melted away, and his eyes filled with tears.
With a voice now broken with regret, he said, “I bear witness that you are truly the grandson of the Prophet (pbuh&hp). They had lied to us about you.”
From that moment, he became one of Imam Hassan’s (p) devoted followers, forever changed by the warmth and wisdom of the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh&hp).
