Satirising the polytheists
Majma al-Zawaid 13329 — Satirising the polytheists
عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " اهْجُوا بِالشِّعْرِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّمَا تَنْصَحُوهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ " .
Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Satirize (the polytheists) with poetry! Indeed, the believer strives (performs jihad) with his wealth and his life. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, it is as if you are shooting arrows at them."
