Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15529

وَعَنْ حَسَّانِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ : بَدَتْ لَنَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى الْوَالِي ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي طَلَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَمْرًا صَعْبًا ، فَمَشَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَغَيْرِهِمْ ، فَكَلَّمُوهُ وَذَكَرُوا لَهُ وَصِيَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِنَا ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ صُعُوبَةَ الْأَمْرِ ، فَعَذَرَهُ الْقَوْمُ ، وَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدَ بُدًّا مِنْ قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِهِ ، فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ ، وَإِذَا الْقَوْمُ أَنْدِيَةٌ . قَالَ حَسَّانُ : فَضَحِكْتُ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُهُمْ ، إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا ، إِنَّهَا وَاللَّهِ صَبَابَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ ، وَوِرَاثَةُ أَحْمَدَ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَيَهْدِيهِ أَعْرَاقُهُ ، وَانْتِزَاعُ شِبْهِ طِبَاعِهِ ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ : أَجْمِلْ يَا حَسَّانُ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : صَدَقُوا ، فَأَحْمَلَ فَأَنْشَأَ حَسَّانُ يَمْدَحُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - فَقَالَ :
إِذَا مَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَدَا لَكَ وَجْهُهُ رَأَيْتَ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ مُجَمَعَةٍ فَضْلَا إِذَا قَالَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ مَقَالًا لِقَائِلٍ
بِمُلْتَقِطَاتٍ لَا تَرَى بَيْنَهَا فَضْلَا كَفَى وَشَفَى مَا فِي النُّفُوسِ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ
لِذِي إِرْبَةٍ فِي الْقَوْلِ جَدًّا وَلَا هَزْلَا
سَمَوْتَ إِلَى الْعُلْيَا بِغَيْرِ مَشَقَّةٍ
فَنِلْتَ ذُرَاهَا لَا دَنِيًّا وَلَا وَغِلَا خُلِقْتَ حَلِيفًا لِلْمُرُوءَةِ وَالنَّدَى بَلِيغًا
وَلَمْ تُخْلَقْ كَهَامًا وَلَا خَبَلَا فَقَالَ الْوَالِي : وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِالْكَهَامِ الْخَبَلَ غَيْرِي ، وَاللَّهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ .
Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit also narrates: Some of us from the Ansar needed something from the governor of the time, and what we were asking of him was a difficult matter. So we went to the governor, taking along some people of Quraysh and of other tribes. They spoke with the governor and mentioned to him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had enjoined good treatment of us. The governor mentioned to them that the matter was difficult, and those people excused him; but Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) kept pressing the governor, until, by Allah, the governor had no option but to do it. We left him and entered the mosque, where people were sitting in various groups. Sayyiduna Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I laughed as I listened to them (saying): By Allah, he (that is, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)) was the most fitting of you for this. By Allah, he is the remnant of prophethood (that is, of the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) and the heir of Sayyiduna Ahmad (peace and blessings be upon him); he has a lineal tie and a natural closeness with him. The people said: O Sayyiduna Hassan, you say something too. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: They are right. So Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) recited these verses in praise of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "When the face of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) appears before you, you will see excellence in everything about him. When he speaks, he leaves nothing for (the other side) to say; he speaks so coherently that you will find nothing superfluous (that is, unnecessary) in his speech. Whatever is in the hearts (of thought, idea, concern or worry), he suffices for it and becomes the means of its cure. He leaves no aspect of seriousness or jest for any intelligent person to speak about. (O Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)) you have risen to a lofty rank without suffering any hardship, and you have reached its hump (that is, the highest level); you are neither lowly nor weak (or deficient). You were created as an ally of chivalry, your voice is eloquent, and you were not created a coward or corrupt." The governor said: By Allah, by "coward" and "corrupt" he meant no one but me; Allah is (the judge) between me and him.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration.
