Hasan ibn Hasan

His father was Hasan ibn Ali.[3][4] His mother was Khawlah bint Manzur ibn Zaban ibn Sayyar Fazari[5] who was not present in the battle of Karbala with his uncle Husayn ibn Ali.[6]

Hasan ibn Hasan's uncle Husayn ibn Ali reportedly offered him to choose either of Husayn's two daughters Sukayna and Fatimah, to be his wife. Hasan, who was too shy to accept, consequently chose Fatimah, as she resembled his grandmother Fatimah al-Zahra.[7]

Sayyid bin Tavus writes about the merit and nobility of Hasan bin Hasan and some other children of Imam Hasan: "These are people whose lofty position and merit all Muslims acknowledged".

According to a part of a narration reported from Imam Reza about the continuation of the offspring of Imam Hasan and Imam Hussein, it is inferred that Hasan al-Muthanna had many children and Imam Hasan's offspring continued through him and another brother of his named Zaid. It has been reported in this tradition: "Hasan bin Ali's offspring continued through two of his sons named Zaid and Hasan. Zaid had a son whose name was Hasan. Also, Hasan al-Muthanna had sons named Abdullah, Ibrahim, Dawood, Ja'far and Hasan, better known as Hasan asl-Muthallath, who continued a third generation of Imam Hasan (AS)."[8]
