Hadith 1616
1616 صحيح حديث حَسَّانِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ: مَرَّ عُمَرُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحَسَّانُ يُنْشِدُ، فَقَالَ: كُنْتُ أُنْشِدُ فِيهِ، وِفِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَت إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: أَجِبْ عَنِّي، اللهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ قَالَ: نَعَمْ
Saeed bin Musayyib narrated that Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the mosque and Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting poetry there. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed his dislike for reciting poetry in the mosque, so Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I used to recite poetry here at a time when someone better than you (the Prophet, peace be upon him) was present here." Then Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I ask you by Allah, did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: 'O Hassan! Reply on my behalf (to the disbelievers of Makkah). O Allah! Help Hassan with the Holy Spirit.'" Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Yes, indeed (I heard it)."
Hadith 1617
1617 صحيح حديث الْبَرَاءِ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحَسَّانَ: اهْجُهُمْ أَوْ هَاجِهِمْ وَجِبرِيلُ مَعَكَ
Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him): "Satirize the polytheists of Mecca, or (he said) respond to their satire, Gabriel is with you."
Hadith 1618
1618 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: ذَهَبْتُ أَسُبُّ حَسَّانَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: لاَ تَسُبُّهُ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُنَافِحُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Urwah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I began to speak ill of Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) in the presence of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), so she said: Do not speak ill of him, he used to defend the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
Hadith 1619
1619 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ، وَعِنْدَهَا حَسَّان بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، يُنْشِدُهَا شِعْرًا، يُشَبِّبُ بِأَبْيَاتٍ لَهُ، وَقَالَ: حَصَانٌ رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ وَتُصْبِحُ غَرْثَى مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَوَافِلِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ: لكِنَّكَ لَسْتَ كَذلِكَ قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ: فَقلْتُ لَهَا لِمَ تَأْذَنِي لَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْكِ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى (وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ) فَقَالَتْ: وَأَيُّ عَذَابٍ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْعَمى قَالَتْ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُنَافِحُ، أَوْ يُهَاجِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Masruq narrated that we were present in the service of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) when Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was also there, reciting his poetry to the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her). One of the verses was, the translation of which is: "She is serious and chaste, upon whom no accusation has ever been made; every morning, she does not eat the flesh of ignorant sisters while being hungry." Upon this, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "But you have not proven to be like that." Masruq narrated that then I asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Why do you allow him to come to you, when Allah Almighty has already said about him: 'And for the one among them who took the greatest part in this, there is a great punishment.'" Upon this, the Mother of the Believers said: "What punishment could be more severe than becoming blind?" (Hassan's eyesight was lost in the last part of his life.) Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him that Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) used to defend the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hadith 1620
1620 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنَ حَسَّانُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هِجَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ: كَيْفَ بِنَسَبِي فَقَالَ حَسَّانٌ: لأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعَرَةُ مِنَ الْعَجِينِ
Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that Hazrat Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to satirize the polytheists (Quraysh). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "But I am also from their family." Upon this, Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "I will separate you (in poetry) as clearly as a hair is separated from flour."
