حَسَن Al-Hasan in Arabic

وَقَالَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

And he said: A good and sound hadith.

حَسَنٌ good

A describing-word on 'hadith', matching it indefinite. As a technical grade it means 'good', a soundness rank just under the top tier in the science of reports.

From Patience and Trust in God

وَقَالَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

and he said: It is a hasan sahih hadith.

حَسَنٌ good

An adjective grading the report 'good' — a recognized middle rank of authenticity. It matches the noun before it in case and indefiniteness (both close on -un), which is how Arabic shows an adjective belongs to its noun.

From The Vastness of God's Mercy

وأما تفسيره للعلماء فجائز حسن والاجماع منعقد عليه فمن كان أهلا للتفسير جامعا للأدوات حتى التي يعرف بها معناه وغلب على ظنه المراد فسره

As for interpretation by scholars, it is permissible and good, and consensus is established on it. Whoever is qualified for interpretation, possessing the necessary tools — including those by which its meaning is known — and the intended meaning is most likely in their view, then they may interpret it.

حَسَنٌ good

A second predicate stacked on the first — 'permissible and good' — with the same -un ending. Two verdicts together: not merely allowed but commendable.

From How Scholars Read Scripture

الشروط علم حسن شرعى،

Contracts are an excellent legal science.

حَسَنٌ excellent

This adjective trails 'science' and agrees with it — nominative, indefinite — 'excellent / good'. Agreement in case binds it to the noun. It pairs with the next adjective to praise the field.

From Intention in Islam

وهم في ذلك دار رزقهم، حسن عيشهم ،

While they are in that state, their provision is flowing and their living is good.

حَسَنُ good

This is an adjective 'good / fine', describing their state — and like the previous one it raises a following noun (their living) as what is actually good. Another 'causative adjective': 'they are good-of-living' = their life is pleasant.

From The Return of Jesus

وعن الحسن قال إن هذه القلوب تحيى وتموت فإذا حييت فاحملوها على النافلة، وإذا ماتت فاحملوها على الفريضة

Al-Hasan said, 'Indeed, these hearts live and die. When they are alive, push them toward extra acts of worship; and when they die, push them toward the obligatory acts.'
