Overall, you can see that what Imam Hassan (pbuh) did had the same meaning and message as the deeds of Amir al-Mu'minin, Imam Hussain and all of the other Imams (pbut). Consciously resisting, understanding his duty and persevering. I tell you my brothers and sisters, Imam Hassan took one of the most courageous courses of action to carry out his duty. Why? Because others, the prophets, the Prophet of Islam, Amir al-Mu'minin, and all other Imams were only taunted by enemies. But the complexity of Imam Hassan's task and the challenge he faced in his situation was that he was taunted even by his friends. Even the likes of Hujr bin Adi did not understand, and they called him the "Muzil al-Mu'minin (the one who humiliates the faithful).” But the Imam (pbuh) was patient.
Imam Khamenei, [June 7, 1985]
