When asked why he never refuses a beggar, Imam AS replied: "I am asking Allah for His favors, and I love to be near Him. I am ashamed, as I am myself in need of Allah, to repulse a beggar. Allah got me used to a habit; to shower me with His bounties, and I get Him used to me showering His bounties on the people. I fear that should I stop my habit, He may stop His habit."
Setting the Slave girl free because she gave Imam a flower Holy Quran Surat un Nisa وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُمْ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيبًا And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a better (greeting) than it or return it; surely Allah takes account of all things.
5. ANGER MANAGEMENT Slave girl drop a bowl of hot soup on Imam AS… She immediately recited the Ayah: "...Those who control (their) anger..." Imam Hasan (a.s.) smiled and said he was not angry. Then she recited the next part of the Ayah: "...And are forgiving towards people..." Imam Hasan (a.s.) said he had forgiven her. She then finished the Ayah: "...Allah loves those who do good..." Imam Hasan (a.s.) told her she was free.
Surat Ale Imran Verse 134: الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ Those who spend (benevolently) in ease as well as in straitness, and those who restrain (their) anger and pardon men; and Allah loves the doers of good (to others).
Words of wisdom: • I wonder those who think about their body's food, but do not think about their soul's food, they keep away disturbing food from their belly, but fill up their heart with destructive subjects • The greatest forgiveness and pardon of Allah comes when the sinner is not able to make a pretext for his wrong doing.
