It is narrated from Hasan, he says: I have received this information that it is written in one of Allah’s Books: O son of Adam! I have made two things for you, but they are not for you. A bequest from your wealth in a recognized manner, while ownership passes to someone else; and the supplication of Muslims for you, while you are in a place where you neither tire due to any evil nor increase in any good.

It is narrated from Yunus that he said: When Saeed bin Hasan passed away, Hasan was deeply grieved because of this. So, he was spoken to regarding this matter. He said: I have heard of the state that Allah has described regarding the grief of Yaqub.

It is narrated from Hasan, he says: Whoever goes to the graveyard and says: O Allah! O Lord of the decayed bodies! And O Lord of those decayed bones which departed from this world in the state that they believed in You. Bestow upon them mercy and peace from Yourself. Then every believer, from the time of creation until the one who dies, seeks forgiveness for that person.

It is narrated from Hasan that he says: Indeed, the believer is watchful over his own self and he holds himself accountable for the sake of God. And on the Day of Resurrection, the reckoning will be easy for those who used to hold themselves accountable in the world, and on the Day of Resurrection, the reckoning will be difficult for those who do not hold themselves accountable. Indeed, when something suddenly comes to a believer, he likes it and says: By God! I desired you, and indeed you are something I need. But by God! There was no connection towards you. And when something is lost from a believer, he turns to himself and says: Did I intend this? What concern do I have with it? I have many others besides it. By God! I will never return to it, God willing. Surely, the people of faith are those whom the Qur'an has made steadfast, and it stands as a barrier between them and their destroyed possessions. The believer is a prisoner in this world, striving to free his neck, and he is not secure from anything until he meets God Almighty. He knows that he is accountable for all of this.

Hasan says: A believer in this world is like a traveler who does not desire the honor of the world, nor does he grieve over its humiliation. People have one condition, and he has another condition. Direct these excellences to wherever Allah has directed them, you too direct them in that direction.

Hazrat Zakariya says that I heard Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) say: Surely, faith is not the name of adornment and wishful thinking, rather faith is that which settles in the heart and is affirmed by actions.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Jahadah that he said: A non-Arab horse passed by Hasan, walking with pride and affectation, so he said: Oh! Do you know that when the Day of Judgment comes, it will come with sorrow?

It is narrated from Hasan that he says: Indeed, for the people of faith, fear is given to them in this world beforehand. Thus, Allah Almighty will keep them in security on the Day of Resurrection. And indeed, the hypocrites have postponed fear from this world. Therefore, Allah Almighty will make them fearful on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Hasan that he said: Some people performed deeds but did not have longing (desire).

It is narrated from Hazrat Mubarak that he says: I heard Hasan say, "Indeed, there are some people whose eyes weep but their hearts do not weep. So, when a person's eyes weep, his heart should also weep."
