How to Answer Mean Words

When someone says mean words to Hasan, Baba shares a beautiful story about how Imam Husayn (a.s.) responded to a stranger's insults with kindness. During a desert journey, a stranger mistreats the Imam. Instead of getting angry, Imam Husayn (a.s.) responds with such a calm and caring heart that the man's feelings are completely transformed. Hasan learns to see his own situation in a new light and discovers what it means to be a "mountain of forbearance."
