Hazrat Hasan’s (ra) Address (Hazrat Musleh Maud’s (ra) Narration)

Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud (ra) has mentioned this incident as follows:

“In the third volume of Al-Tabaqat by Ibn Saad, there is a narration by Hazrat Imam Hasan (ra) regarding the events surrounding the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali (ra), may Allah exalt him. He stated, ‘O People! Tonight, the person who has passed away was such that the level of some of his deeds were unattainable by the people of the past, nor can those that come in the future attain them. When the Holy Prophet (sa) would send him on an expedition, Angel Gabriel would be on his right and Angel Michael on his left. He would never return from any expedition without having gained victory first. He has only left behind 700 dirhams, with which he intended to purchase a servant. His soul was raised up on the same night that the soul of Jesus, son of Mary (as) was raised up towards the Heavens” i.e. the 27th night of Ramadan.
