people had gathered during Imam Hassan Askari's burial such that it was impossible for anyone tocome together and forge a lie."The narrator says: In the year 288 when eighteen years or more had passed from Imam HassanAskari's demise, we presented ourselves before Ahmad‐ibn‐ Obaidullah‐ibn‐Khaqan. He was theCaliph's representative in Qum responsible for collecting the tribute. He was amongst the severeenemies of the progeny of Abu‐Talib. In that gathering discussion took place about the progeny ofAbu‐ Talib who were the residents of Samerra and their faith, piousness and bravery were suchmatters, which were mooted before the Caliph. Ahmad‐ibn‐ Obaidullah said: In the city ofSamerra and amongst the Alaw is, I have never come across a person like Hassan‐ibn‐Ali‐ibn‐Muhammad ‐ibn‐Ridha and I have not heard anyone amongst the kings and all the Bani‐Hashimpossessing such chastity, nobility, magnificence and munificence like him.He was given more priority than (ever) the aged peoples. Similarly the commanders, Ministers,writers and common people respected him very much. Ahmad‐ibn‐Obaidullah says: One day Istood besides my father who was in the state of dying. Suddenly, a guard approached my fatherand said: "Ibn‐Ridha (i.e. Imam Hassan Askari) is standing besides the door." My father shoutedloudly and said: "Allow him to enter." Suddenly I saw a young man possessing and appalling presence approaching us. As soon as myfather saw him, he went forward to welcome him. I had never seen my father doing the same forany of the Bani‐Hashim or the leaders and companions of the Caliph. When Imam Hassan Askaricame near, my father hugged and kissed his blessed face and hands. He caught hold of Hazrat'shands and offered him his own place. He himself sat facing Imam Askari and began to conversewith him. He would address Imam by his agnomen (i.e. he would say 'O Abu Muhammad) andwould often express his willingness to sacrifice his life for him.I was surprised by my father's behaviors. At that moment, the guard once again approached myfather and said: "M (who was the Caliph) has come." Whenever M would come to meet my fatherit was customary for my father's guards and other special men to line up in two rows right fromthe place of my father's sitting until the doorway of Caliph until M would come and then returnback. In spite of realizing that the Caliph was going to come my father was still looking at Hazrat'sface and conversing with him until the Caliph's special servants were seen. At that moment, myfather told Imam as such:"May I be sacrificed for you. Whenever you wish, you may go." My father commanded hisservants to take Imam Askari from behind the rows so that the Caliph would be unable to see him.Once again my father hugged and kissed his blessed face and hands and then allowed him to go.I told my father's door ‐ keepers and servants as such: 'Woe be upon you all.
