This means that the virtue of the Imam (a.s.) includes both his adherents and his enemies. Similarly, the

ʾAbū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī (a) (Arabic:(ع) أبو محمد الحسن بن علي) (b. 232/846 - d. 260/874) was the 11th Imam of Twelver Shi'a and the father of Imam al-Mahdi (a). He was given the title, Imam al-Askari(امام العسکري), because he was forced to reside in Samarra which was also known as "Askar" (a military camp or town). His other titles include Ibn al-Rida, al-Hadi, al-Naqi, al-Zaki, al-Rafiq and al-Samit.
