al-Hasan’s eulogy for Ali ᴿᴬ
al-Hasan b. Ali ᴿᴬ addressed us after Ali ᴿᴬ was killed, and he said: A man parted from you yesterday whom the earlier generations did not surpass in knowledge, nor did the later generations catch up to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would send him forth and give him the banner, and he would not return until victory had been granted to him. He left behind neither gold nor silver except seven hundred dirhams from his stipend, which he had been setting aside for a servant for his family.
خَطَبَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ عَلِيٍّ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ فَارَقَكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِالْأَمْسِ، مَا سَبَقَهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ بِعِلْمٍ، وَلا أَدْرَكَهُ الْآخِرُونَ. إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيَبْعَثُهُ وَيُعْطِيهِ الرَّايَةَ، فَلا يَنْصَرِفُ حَتَّى يُفْتَحَ لَهُ، وَمَا تَرَكَ مِنْ صَفْرَاءَ وَلا بَيْضَاءَ إِلا سَبْعَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنْ عَطَائِهِ، كَانَ يَرْصُدُهَا لِخَادِمٍ لِأَهْلِهِ.
