Many
outstanding acts and traits are on his credit. There have been two Ulema
in Basra,
whose name was also Hasan like him. Their accounts of lives and merits have
been narrated in books and have been mingled with his in error. However, we
will describe hereunder some commendable achievements on his credit, which are
valid and correct. A
saint writes that 'one day, we accompanied Hazrat
Hasan Radhi-ya-Allahu
Ta-aala Anhu * At
that occasion, he gazed upon a date palm tree, which was not green and fresh
dates grew up on it at the same moment. We ate the dates and filled our stomach
and became fresh. The taste and flavor of these dates was quite unique and of
much better and higher quality than the worldly dates. The thing of most wonder
is that the seed of every date turned into gold when we had eaten the fruit We
sold these golden seeds in the market of Madinah and bought necessities of life
and remained astonished. It

Hasan Radhi-ya-Allahu
Ta-aala Anhu
.
He said that he would start offering Assalaat
(Prayers) and when he had become
engaged in Assalaat, then we should approach the well and drink water. Hence,
he started offering Assalaat
and we went on the verge of the well and observed
its water rising like a fountain and water has risen up to the brink of the
well in a second. We drank water up to our fill. One of our companions filled a
can secretly and the water returned to its previous state. After this, we left
that place. In the way, we felt hunger and we informed Hazrat
Hasan Radhi-ya-Allahu

learned all the Holy Quran by heart and he also used to read it well. Once a
handsome body came to his place and he saw him with lustful eye and the same

became hard and difficult for him to read it even. In such condtion, a grave
fear and threat surrounded him and in an extreme restlessness and worriness, he
went to the court of Hazrat Hasan Radhi-ya-Allahu
Ta-aala Anhu
and requested him for Inwardly
help and for relief. Hazrat
Hasan Radhi-ya-Allahu
Ta-aala Anhu
said 'these are days of Hajj. You should leave for Hajj
immediately and when
you have done, you should go to Masjid Kheef.
