چکیده:
The purity of a mysterious death in the Middle Ages has been hypothesized from the perspective of contemporary forensic legal and scientific methods. The fact that Hassan ibn Ali died in 669 AD at the age of 45, based on written sources that dictate eyewitness accounts of historical events, has been analyzed in a forensic manner. The report of poisoning of another individual living in the same family as Hassan ibn Ali, who experienced similar yet non-lethal symptoms, has been the starting point for analysis. In light of ancient documents (Middle Ages) and using mineralogical, medical, and chemical facts, this hypothesis is that mineral calomel (mercury(I) chloride, Hg2Cl2) from a specific region in the Byzantine Empire (modern-day western Turkey) was primarily the main substance used in the murder of Hassan ibn Ali.

In light of ancient documents (Middle Ages) and using mineralogical, medical, and chemical facts, this hypothesis is that mineral calomel (mercury (I) chloride, Hg2Cl2) from a specific region in the Byzantine Empire (western modern-day Turkey) was primarily the main substance in the murder of Hasan ibn Ali. Keywords: Hasan ibn Ali, calomel, poisoning, mercury (I) chloride, mystery.
Signs in historical reports, compared to mercury poisoning due to the ingestion of calomel, cannot definitively identify what poisoned Hasan ibn Ali without an autopsy or any diagnostic testing,1.
Some of the clinical signs reported in the narrations of the death of Hasan ibn Ali are green skin color and vomiting blood.

A significant number of mercury mines containing calomel exist in present-day western Turkey, which was located around the heart of the Byzantine Empire at the time of Hasan ibn Ali's death.
Mineralogical, medical, and chemical facts confirm the hypothesis that the death of Hasan ibn Ali was due to calomel (mercury (I) chloride) poisoning.
