Hadith 13

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww, when his-saww Masjid had been built at Al-Medina and its door was set facing it, and the Muhajirs (Emigrants) and the Ansaar (Helpers) (also) had their doors set facing it, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wanted to Manifest Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws as being superior with the merits. Jibraeel–as descended from the Presence of Allah-azwj the Exalted, that ‘The doors should be closed from the Masjid of Rasool-Allah-saww before the Punishment descends with you all! ’
The first one whom Rasool-Allah-saww sent for ordering him with the closure of the doors, was Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib. He said, ‘I hear and am obedient to Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww’, and the messenger was Muaz Bin Jabal–la. Then Al-Abbas passed by (Syeda) Fatima-asws and saw her-asws to be seated at her-asws door, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws were (also) seated. So he said to her-asws, ‘What is the matter with you-asws being seated looking at it (the Masjid) like a lioness and its cubs in front of it? Do you-asws think that Rasool-Allah-saww would throw out his-saww uncle and will admit a son-asws of his-saww uncleas? ’
Rasool-Allah-saww passed by them and he-saww said to her-asws: ‘What is the matter with you-asws being seated (here)? ’ She-asws said: ‘I-asws am awaiting the instructions of Rasool-Allah-saww with the closure of the doors’. He-saww said to her-asws: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Commanded them (people) with the closure of the doors, and Excluded from them His-azwj Rasool-saww, and rather you-asws are the soul of Rasool-Allah-saww’. Then Umar Bin Al-Khattab came, and he said, ‘I love looking at you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww whenever I pass by your-saww praying place, so allow me a hole, I can look at you-saww from it! ’ But he-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Refused that’. He said, ‘So what about a measurement of what I can place my head upon it? ’ He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has Refused that’. He said, ‘So (what about) a measurement of what I can place one of my eyes upon it’. He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has Refused that, and even if I you were to say, ‘An end point of a needle’, that would not be allowed for you. By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-saww soul, it was not I-saww who exited you all nor admitted them-asws, but Allah-azwj Exited you all and Admitted them-asws’. Then he-saww said: ‘It is not befitting for anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day [9: 99] that he spends the night in this Masjid with being in requirement of major ablution, but excluded are Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and the chosen ones-asws from their-asws Progeny-asws, the goodly ones from their-asws children’. He-asws said: ‘As for the Momineen, so they were pleased and submitted, and as for the hypocrites, th
