A Critique on the Salafi's doubts about martyrdom of Imam Hassan (pbuh)

Among all Muslims, Imam Hassan Mujtaba (pbuh) is regarded as the examples of the Verse of Purity (Ayat Al- Tathir) and the Members of the House of the Prophet. During his life, he faced many difficulties that one of these problems was Muawiyah who was against him. After martyrdom of Imam Ali (pbuh), Muawiyah considered Imam Hassan (pbuh) as a major obstacle in the way of his plans, and sought to eliminate him, in order to smooth the succession of his son until he murdered Imam Hassan (pbuh). The martyrdom of Imam Hassan (pbuh) by Muawiyah’s prepared poison is one of the much discussed cases of Sunni scholars and they have frequently quoted this story. But some of them denied this true story and raised doubts, in order to acquit the Muawiyah of the crime. In this article we review them.
