The Most Hospitable Man in Medina

What does it mean to be truly generous? Hasan learns a beautiful lesson about hospitality from the ultimate example of Imam Husayn (a.s.). When Hasan wants to be the best host for his friend Ali, Baba shares a true story from 7th-century Medina. Through the eyes of Jabir ibn Abdullah Ansari, we see how Imam al-Husayn (a.s.) treated his guests—giving everything he had while still asking for forgiveness. Hasan tries to put this beautiful sunnah into practice, showing that small acts of kindness done with love can make anyone feel truly welcome.
