==Period of Imamate== 
Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS) spent 23 years alongside his father, Imam al-Hadi (AS), and, following his father’s martyrdom, became his successor at the age of 22, as per Imam al-Hadi’s will. His period of Imamate lasted six years (254–260 AH/846- 874 AD). 
Imam Hasan al-Askari’s Imamate coincided with the reigns of three Abbasid caliphs: al-Mu'tazz (252–255 AH/866-868 AD), al-Muhtadi (255–256 AH/868-869 AD), and al-Mu'tamid (256–279 AH/869-892 AD). During al-Mu'tazz’s rule, the Imam was imprisoned, and an attempt was made on his life, but al-Mu'tazz was killed by Turkish forces before he could carry it out. The harassment and imprisonment of the Imam continued during the reigns of al-Muhtadi and al-Mu'tamid. 
Despite the Abbasid authorities’ strict surveillance over the Imam's residence, many of his followers, including narrators, representatives, and companions, maintained contact with him. Notable among them were Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar, [[Abd al-Azim al-Hasani]], [[Uthman ibn Sa’id al-Umari]], and [[Fazl ibn Shadhan al-Nishaburi]]. 
===Books Attributed to Imam al-Askari=== 
Among Imam Hasan al-Askari’s cultural contributions are several works attributed to him, including: 
*Kitab al-Manqaba
*Masa'il Abi Muhammad al-Hasan al-Askari
*Tawqi'at al-Imam al-Askari
*Tafsir attributed to Imam Hasan al-Askari 
Additionally, many supplications (duas) from the Imam are preserved in various sources. 
==Imam Hasan al-Askari and Hajj== 
There are no conclusive reports of Imam Hasan al-Askari performing [[Hajj]]. He is widely considered the only Imam who could not perform the pilgrimage due to his house arrest in [[Samarra]]. However, some sources mention narrations from the Imam in [[Mecca]], and a report by Baladhuri indicates his presence there. 
===Sending His Family to Mecca=== 
It is said that shortly before his passing, Imam al-Askari sent his mother and his son, Imam Mahdi (AS), to perform Hajj. They traveled under the protection of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Mutahhar, a close associate of the eleventh Imam. Following the pilgrimage, it is believed they moved to Medina, possibly as a place of concealment for the twelfth Imam. 
===Narrations About Hajj=== 
The Imam provided various narrations related to Hajj, including rulings and spiritual insights. For instance, Muhammad ibn al-Mutahhar narrated a tradition regarding *Hajj Bazli* (performing Hajj on behalf of another). The Imam also conveyed a narration about the philosophy and meanings behind the phrases of *[[Labbayk]]*.
