Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2698 — I said to Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali: What

Abu al-Hawra' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): What were you like on the day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away? And what do you remember of him? He said: I remember of him that a man came to him one day and asked him about something, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt, for evil is doubt and good is tranquillity." And I also remember that one day I passed by him when in front of him was one of the heaps of the dates of sadaqah. I took a date and put it in my mouth, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) seized me by the nape of my neck, then put his hand into my mouth and took it out with its saliva, then threw it back onto the heap. His Companions said to him: If only you had left the boy to eat it! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sadaqah is not lawful for the family of Muhammad." The narrator said: And he (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me a few words which I supplicate with at the end of the qunut: "O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, take me as Your friend among those You have taken as friends, grant me well-being among those You have granted well-being, bless me in what You have given me, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed; for indeed You decree and none can decree against You, and the one whom You befriend is never humiliated. Blessed are You and Exalted."
