Hadith.1810 - It is narrated by Abdullah ibn al-Mughira from Salim, from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq ), who said:
"The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) bequeathed solely to Ali
, and Ali
bequeathed jointly to al-Hasan
and al-Husayn
. Al-Hasan
was the Imam during his time.
A man entered upon al-Hasan
on the Day of Arafah and found him having lunch, while al-Husayn
was fasting. After al-Hasan
passed away, the same man entered upon al-Husayn
on the Day of Arafah and found him having lunch, while Ali ibn al-Husayn
was fasting.
The man said to Imam: 'I came to al-Hasan
when he was having lunch, and you were fasting. Then I came to you, and now you are not fasting.'
Imam
replied: 'Al-Hasan
was the Imam, so he broke his fast to ensure his fasting would not be taken as a Sunnah and followed by others. When he passed away, I became the Imam, and I did not want my fasting to be taken as a Sunnah and followed by others.'"
