Hasan ibn Ali, an influential Alid leader in early Islamic history, briefly served as the Rashidun caliph after succeeding his father Ali. He was known for his role in military campaigns during the First Fitna and faced leadership challenges from Mu’awiya I. Despite criticism for his peace treaty with Mu’awiya, Hasan’s actions were driven by a desire for unity and peace among Muslims. In Shia theology, Hasan’s divine infallibility as the second Imam justified his decisions, highlighting the distinction between imamate and caliphate in Shia Islam.
