Imam Hasan (A) is said to have had about 15 or 16 children, but there are some historical disagreements about the details of how many children he had or who else [apart from al-Qasim's mother] he also was married to.
Allah knows the wisdom behind every thing He ordained. We believe in the Absolute Wisdom of Allah and do not go in to details which is out of our reach of thinking. Our Faith in the Absolute Wisdom of Allah (SWT) is enough for us and it is the real and proper way when we deal with decisions of Allah ( SWT).
We and all the scholars might thing about some reasons like the reward of the sacrifice in Karbala, but that can never be the full reason.We always say: Allah and His messenger know more. الله ورسوله أعلم
The question Why when it comes on any rule from Allah can mislead people who do not have enough submission to the will and wisdom of Allah (SWT).
In the life of all the prophets and infallible Imams, similar question about reasons of succession can mislead weak hearted persons who don’t have real faith in the absolute Wisdom of Allah (SWT).
It is mentioned in history books of both Shi'a and Sunni sides that at the time of the martyrdom of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (a.s.), 'Aishah gathered some people, mounted a mule, and prevented the Imam from being buried next to his grandfather's grave.
In order to avoid any further bloodshed, Imam Husain (a.s.) buried his elder brother in Jannatul-Baqi' Cemetary.
Allah (The Glorious) knows whom to appoint as an Imam and we have no authority nor capacity to know. We definitely believe that every order by Allah (SWT) is based on the absolute benefit of human beings and the whole universe.
Al-Hasan Al-Muthanna was never an Imam, as the Imamate after Imam Husain (AS) was to Imam Ali Zainul Abideen (AS). No one from Imam Hasan's sons or grand sons was an Imam.
All the names of the Twelve Imams were clearly mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) in many authentic Hadeeths. (Ithbaat Al-Hudaat By Al-Hurr Al-Aamily in three volumes).
