Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 3570 — Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam passed

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ الْمَكِّيُّ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَتُّوَيْهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، قَالُوا: ثنا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، ثنا أَبُو غَزِيَّةَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهَا أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَتْ: مَرَّ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، بِمَجْلِسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَحَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يُنْشِدُهُمْ مِنْ شِعْرِهِ وَهُمْ غَيْرُ نشاطٍ لِمَا يَسْمَعُونَ مِنْهُ، فَجَلَسَ الزُّبَيْرُ مَعَهُمْ، وَقَالَ: «مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ غَيْرَ أَذِنِينَ لِمَا تَسْمَعُونَ مِنْ شِعْرِ ابْنِ الْفُرَيْعَةِ، فَلَقَدْ كَانَ يَعْرِضُ بِهِ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيُحْسِنُ اسْتِمَاعَهُ وَيَجْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ ثَوَابَهُ، وَلَا يُشْغَلُ عَنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ» ، فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ:
[البحر الطويل]
أَقَامَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ وَهَدْيِهِ ... حَوَارِيُّهُ وَالْقَوْلُ بِالْفِعْلِ يُعْدَلُ
أَقَامَ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِهِ وطَرِيقِهِ ... يُوَالِي وَلِيَّ الْحَقِّ وَالْحَقُّ أَعْدَلُ
هُوَ الْفَارِسُ الْمَشْهُورُ وَالْبَطَلُ الَّذِي ... يَصُولُ إِذَا مَا كَانَ يَوْمٌ مُحَجَّلُ
إِذَا كَشَفَتْ عَنْ سَاقِهَا الْحَرْبُ حَشَّهَا ... بِأَبْيَضَ سَبَّاقٍ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ يَرْفُلُ
وَإِنَّ امْرَأً كَانَتْ صَفِيَّةُ أُمَّهُ ... وَمِنْ أَسَدٍ فِي بَيْتِهَا لَمُؤَمَّلُ
Sayyidah Asma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by a gathering of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting his poetry to them, while they were not showing much eagerness in listening to it. So Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) sat with them and said: What is the matter, that I see you listening half-heartedly to the poetry of Ibn al-Furay'ah (Hassan), when he used to present poetry like this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would listen to it well and reward him generously for it, and nothing would distract him from it? Then Sayyiduna Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) composed these verses:
"His disciple (hawari) stood firm upon the covenant and guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and word is weighed by deed.
He stood firm upon his path and his way, befriending the friend of the truth, and the truth is most just.
He is the famed horseman and the hero who charges when a hard day is faced.
When war bares its shin, he kindles it with a white sword that races ahead towards death and sweeps proudly along.
And he is a man whose mother was Safiyyah, and who, from (the clan of) Asad, is one in whom hope is placed in his house."
