Remembering the forgotten

Once Hazrat Khizar asked Imam Hasan (a.s), "How does a man forget anything although he knew it previously and was in his mind?" Imam replied, "The man's heart is in a pot (Zarf) when the pot is shut, the man feels a sort of forgetfulness. But as he recites Darud upon Muhammad (saw) and Aley Muhammad (a.s), the cover of forgetting is torn  and the forgotten thing comes to mind and enlightens the heart." Imam (a.s) further added to say that the incomplete Darud if recited the curtains get hardened, the heart glooms in dark and forget anything, hence recite too much Darud upon us."
