وعنه أن عمر رضي الله عنه مر بحسان ينشد في المسجد ، فلحظ إليه ، فقال : قد كنت أنشد فيه ، وفيه من هو خير منك. متفق عليه.
Narrated [Abu Hurairah (RA)]: Umar came over Hassan while reciting poetry inside the mosque and looked at him sternly, then he (Hassan) said: "I used to recite poetry inside it (the mosque) in the presence of one who is more pious than you [i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ)]". [Agreed upon].
