*Hazrat Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) se marwi hai ke farmaya:*
“(Wallahi la-yaghiyabanna ghaibatan laa yanjoo feeha minal halakati illa man sabbatahul laahu ‘azza wa jalla ‘alal qawli bi-imaamatihi wa waffaqahu feeha lid-du‘aai bi-ta‘jeel-e farajihi)”
*”Khuda ki qasam woh itna arsa ghaib rahenge ke jismein halakat se sirf wahi bachega jise Allah Ta‘ala unki Imaamat par saabit qadam rakhega, aur use ta‘jeel-e-faraj ki dua ki taufeeq ata farmaega.”*
(Kamaal ud-Deen 2/348, Zimn Hadees 1)
Imam Hasan al-Askari (peace be upon him), the 11th Imam, is called *“Askari”* because most of his life was spent in **Samarra (known as Askar)**.
**The reason is:**
* The Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil summoned his father, Imam Ali al-Naqi (peace be upon him), from Medina to Samarra (a city in Iraq).
* At that time, Samarra was established as a military garrison (*Askar*).
* Since Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) lived in that city and spent most of his time in the military quarter, he became known as *“Askari”*.
In other words, *“Askari”* is a title referring to his place of residence, **Askar (the military garrison)**. In
