Forbearance Of Imam Hasan (a.s)

Umair Ibn Ishaq says: Marwan was the governor upon us in Medina and every Friday he maligned Amir’ul-Mu’minin (a.s) from the pulpit. Though Imam Hasan (a.s) heard about it, he did not react. Once he conveyed some things to him through a messenger. The Imam told the messenger, “Go and tell Marwan that we have not forgotten anything from whatever he has said. Allah will decide between him and me. If he is telling the truth Allah would reward him and if he is lying the chastisement of God is very terrible.” Reference :Akhlaq al-A’imma, Morals & Manners of the Holy Imams
