Al-Hasan al-Basree, was born in Madinah, 642 CE and was, in fact, the son of Yasar, the slave ofZayd Ibn ThabetAl Ansari. His mother Ummul Hasan was a slave woman ofUmmu Salamah, the wife of the Prophet peace be upon him. So he was born in the house of the Prophet, and his father’s master was one of the famous scribes who recorded Divine revelation for the unlettered Prophet. Ummu Salama used to send Ummul Hasan to do anything for her. Al-Hasan used to cry in his mother’s absence; so Ummu Salama would breast-feed him for some time. She would also bring him out to the Companions of the Prophet while he was still young. They would pray for him. Once Umar Ibn Al Khattab said:“O God! Make him well-versed in religion and make people love him”.
