عن الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام قال: لا أدب لمن لا عقل له، ولا مروة لمن لا همة له، ولا حياء لمن لا دين له، ورأس العقل معاشرة الناس بالجميل، وبالعقل تدرك الداران جميعا، ومن حرم من العقل حرمهما جميعا.


Imam Al-Hasan(as) says:"There is no etiquette for one who lacks intellect, no honor for one who lacks ambition, and no modesty for one who lacks faith. The foundation of wisdom is treating people kindly. Through intellect, both worlds (this life and the Hereafter) are attained, and whoever is deprived of intellect is deprived of both."

عنه (عليه السلام): اعلموا أن الله لم يخلقكم عبثا، وليس بتارككم سدى، كتب آجالكم، وقسم بينكم معايشكم، ليعرف كل ذي لب منزلته، وأن ما قدر له أصابه، وما صرف عنه فلن يصيبه


Imam al-Hasan(pbuh) says: "Know that Allah did not create you in vain, nor will He abandon you aimlessly. He has decreed your lifespans and apportioned your sustenance among you so that every person of understanding may recognize their position. Whatever is destined for him will reach him, and whatever is kept away from him will never befall him."

ورزق غلاما فأتته قريش تهنيه فقالوا: يهنيك الفارس، فقال عليه السلام أي شئ هذا القول؟ ولعله يكون راجلا، فقال له جابر: كيف نقول يا ابن رسول الله؟ فقال: عليه السلام: إذا ولد لاحدكم غلام فأتيتموه فقولوا له: شكرت الواهب وبورك لك في الموهوب، بلغ الله به أشده ورزقك بره.


People of Quraish visited Imam Al-Hasan (peace be upon him) for the birth of a male baby. They said (their usual expression of congratulation in such an occasion): "Enjoy the existence of this knight." He answered, "What is this saying? Who knows, he may be walking." "O son of God's Messenger," said Jabir, "What should we say then?" The Imam (peace be upon him) answered: To congratulate for a male newborn, you should say: May you thank the Endower, blessed be this gift, and God may cause him to attain maturity and bestow upon you with his earnings.

وقال عليه السلام من أدام الاختلاف إلى المسجد أصاب إحدى ثمان: آية محكمة وأخا مستفادا وعلما مستطرفا ورحمة منتظرة وكلمة تدله على الهدى أو ترده عن ردى وترك الذنوب حياء أو خشية.


Imam Al-Hasan (peace be upon him) said: He who frequents to the mosque will gain one of eight things — a decisive (Quranic) Verse, a useful friend, an original information, an expected mercy, a word that guides to the right, a word that saves from perdition, or a desertion of sins whether shyly or fearfully.

وقال عليه السلام في وصف أخ كان له صالح كان من أعظم الناس في عيني. وكان رأس ما عظم به في عيني صغر الدنيا في عينه (1) كان خارجا من سلطان الجهالة، فلا يمد يدا إلا على ثقة لمنفعة، كان لا يشتكي ولا يتسخط ولا يتبرم، كان أكثر دهره صامتا، فإذا قال بذ القائلين (2) كان ضعيفا مستضعفا، فإذا جاء الجد فهو الليث عاديا (3)، كان إذا جامع العلماء على أن يستمع أحرص منه على أن يقول، كان إذا غلب على الكلام لم يغلب على السكوت، كان لا يقول ما لا يفعل ويفعل ما لا يقول، كان إذا عرض له أمران لا يدري أيهما أقرب إلى ربه نظر أقربهما من هواه فخالفه، كان لا يلوم أحدا على ما قد يقع العذر في مثله.


Describing the features of one of his virtuous friends,' Imam Al-Hasan (peace be upon him) said: He was the greatest of people in my eye. The head of his characters that made him great in my eye was the insignificancy of this world in his eyes. He was beyond the power of ignorance. He extended his hand to no one except the trustful and only for a profit. He was not complaining, showing dissatisfaction, or repining. He spent most of his time with silence; but when he spoke, he was excelling the speakers. He was weak and feeble, but in situations of seriousness, he was as same as an attacking lion. When he was sitting with the scholars, he was abiding by listening more than speaking. He was not overcome in silence even if he was overcome in speaking. He was not saying what he would not do and was doing what he did not say. When he ignored which of the two matters, which he encountered, was the nearer to his Lord, he used to notice the one that was nearer to his passion so that he would take in the other. He avoided blaming anyone for a matter the like of which might be excused.

وقال عليه السلام عند صلحه لمعاوية: إنا والله ما ثنانا عن أهل الشام [شك ولا ندم، وإنما كنا نقاتل أهل الشام] بالسلامة والصبر، فسلبت السلامة بالعداوة والصبر بالجزع، وكنتم في منتدبكم إلى صفين ودينكم أمام دنياكم، وقد أصبحتم اليوم و دنياكم أمام دينكم


Imam Al-Hasan (peace be upon him) said when he concluded the peace treaty with Muawiya: By God, it was not doubt or sorrow that made us stop confronting people of Syria. We could fight the Syrian people with safety and steadfastness. Today, enmity, unfortunately, seized the safety and intolerance seized the steadfastness. When you fought in the battle of Siffin, your religion was preceded to your worldly life. Today your worldly life is preceded to your religion.

وقال عليه السلام: القريب من قربته المودة وإن بعد نسبه. والبعيد من باعدته المودة وإن قرب نسبه لا شئ أقرب من يد إلى جسد وإن اليد تفل فتقطع وتحسم


The true close is that whom is drawn near by cordiality despite the far kinship, and the true remote is that whom is taken away by cordiality despite the near kinship. Nothing is closer to the body than the hand. Hands may be amputated and cut due to betrayal.

وقال عليه السلام: لا تجاهد الطلب جهاد الغالب ولا تتكل على القدر اتكال المستسلم فإن ابتغاء الفضل من السنة والاجمال في الطلب من العفة وليست العفة بدافعة رزقا ولا الحرص بجالب فضلا، فإن الرزق مقسوم واستعمال الحرص استعمال المأثم.


Do not fight the demand like the fighting of the triumphant and do not depend upon the destiny like the surrendering. To seek the graces is a prophetic tradition and to seek moderately is a form of chastity. However, neither chastity will stop the earnings nor will acquisitiveness bring any surplus. The earnings are already divided and acquisitiveness leads to sins.

وقال عليه السلام: لبعض ولده: يا بني لا تواخ أحدا حتى تعرف موارده ومصادره فإذا استنبطت الخبرة ورضيت العشرة فآخه على إقالة العثرة والمواساة في العسرة.


O son, do not befriend anyone before you know his means and sources. When you try him and please to associate with him, you should then befriend him on bases of pardoning his faults and consoling him in misfortunes.

قال الإمام الحسن المجتبى (عليه السلام): إن من طلب العبادة تزكى لها. إذا أضرت النوافل بالفريضة فارفضوها. اليقين معاذ للسلامة. من تذكر بعد السفر اعتد. ولا يغش العاقل من استنصحه. بينكم وبين الموعظة حجاب العزة. قطع العلم عذر المتعلمين.


Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba(as) says: He who seeks worship should clean himself for it. Decline the recommendable rites if they injure the obligatory ones. Conviction is refuge for safety. He who considers the long journey will surely prepare for it. The intelligent should not cheat those who seek advice. Between the admonition and you lies the screen of haughtiness. Knowledge invalidates the excuses of the learners. Every anticipated (one) asks for respite and every respited busies himself with negligence.
