“Abdullah bin Hassan” was very ascetic and devout and had a good position among the people
For this reason, the Caliph met him sometimes. He also preached to the caliph and commanded him to do good, and the caliph tolerated his words.
One day, Imam Musa bin Jafar (peace be upon hi.) entered the mosque and said to Abdullah: “Your works are pleasing and beloved to me, but it is a pity that you are not a person of knowledge.”
He said: “I sacrifice you.” What do you mean?”
The Imam said: “Go ask and think about God’s religion and try to seek hadiths.”
He said: “From whom?”
He said: “Seek knowledge and the right path from Anas bin Malik (the head of the Maliki sect) and from the jurists of Madinah, and then present to me whatever you have obtained.” (Imam wanted to show the invalidity and deviance of that sect in the future by doing this)
Abdullah searched and talked for a while and then in a meeting with the Imam, he presented him information about the caliphate.
Imam refuted everything with sufficient reason. Then he emphasized: “Go for knowledge.”
Hasan bin Abdullah, who was persistent in his religion, when she knocked on all the doors and became desperate, he decided to meet the Imam himself.
One day when the Imam was going to her farm, he accompanied him and said: “I am your sacrifice, take my hand and guide me.”
Guide me to the “knowledge of truth” yourself.
The imam clearly and substantiated the process of the right of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (peace be upon him). He accepted and asked: “How did the Imamate continue after Amir al Mu’minin?”
The Imam said: “The guiding Imams were Imam Hassan Mojtaba, Imam Hussein, Imam Sajjad, Imam Muhammad Baqir, and then my father, Imam Jafar Sadiq.”
Hassan son of Abdullah said: I will be your sacrifice,
Who is the imam today?
The Imam said: “If I tell you, will you accept?”
Said : yes,
He said: “Me.”
“Aren’t you going to give me a sign that I can rely on?” he said.
The Imam said: “Go to that tree and say Musa son of Jafar says come!”
Hassan bin(son of) Abdullah says: “When I conveyed the Imam’s message to the tree, by God, that tree split the ground and reached the presence of the Imam.
Then the imam pointed and the tree returned to its place.
From that day, Hassan became one of the companions of the 7th Imam and was trained by the Imam.
He, who used to have pleasant dreams before accepting the Imamate of Imam Kazem, did not dream anymore.
One night, he saw Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) in a dream and complained about the interruption of his sweet dreams. Imam said to him: “Don’t worry. When a believer becomes steadfast in his faith, his dreams will stop.
