حسن بن علی

اس کی خلافت پر مآخذ کے مؤقف

• sunni — Sunni tradition reveres Hasan as the Prophet's beloved grandson and counts his abdication an act of reconciliation that ended the first civil war — 'the year of unity'.
• academic — Historians describe a caliphate that lacked the military and political base to continue, so that the abdication was as much a consequence of weakness as of peacemaking.
• shia-twelver — Twelver Shia tradition venerates Hasan as the second Imam, who abdicated under duress to spare his followers, and holds that he was later poisoned at Muawiya's instigation.
