Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 3580 — Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit narrated: We

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي الْجَارِيَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَارِ مِنْ سَاحِلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُسَيَّبِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: " بَدَتْ لَنَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى الْوَالِيِ حَاجَةٌ وَكَانَ الَّذِي طَلَبَنَا إِلَيْهِ أَمْرًا صَعْبًا، فَمَشَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَغَيْرِهِمْ فَكَلَّمُوهُ وَذَكَرُوا لَهُ وَصِيَّةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِنَا فَذَكَرَ صُعُوبَةَ الْأَمْرِ فَعَذَرَهُ الْقَوْمُ وَخَرَجُوا وَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، فَوَاللهِ مَا وَجَدَ بُدًّا مِنْ قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِنَا، فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا الْقَوْمُ أَنْدِيَةٌ قَالَ حَسَّانُ: فَضَحِكْتُ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعَهُمْ إِنَّهُ وَاللهِ كَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا إِنَّهَا وَاللهِ صُبَابَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَوِرَاثَةُ أَحْمَدَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وتَهْذِيبُ أَعْرَاقِهِ وَانْتِزَاعُ شِبْهِ طَبائِعِهِ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ: أَجْمِلْ يَا حَسَّانُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: صَدَقُوا فَأَنْشَأَ حَسَّانُ يَمْدَحُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ:
[البحر الطويل]
إِذَا مَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَدَا لَكَ وَجْهُهُ ... رَأَيْتَ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَجْمَعَةٍ فَضْلَا
إِذَا قَالَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ مَقَالًا لِقَائِلٍ ... بِمُلْتَقَطَاتٍ لَا تَرَى بَيْنَهَا فَضْلَا
كَفَى وَشفَى مَا فِي النُّفُوسِ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ ... لِذِي أَرْبَةٍ فِي الْقَوْلِ جِدًّا وَلَا هَزْلَا
سَمَوْتُ إِلَى الْعُلْيَا بِغَيْرِ مَشَقَّةٍ ... فَنِلْتَ ذُرَاهَا لَا جَبَانًا وَلَا وَغْلَا
خُلِقْتَ حَلِيفًا لِلْمُرُوءَةِ وَالنَّدَى ... بَلِيجًا وَلَمْ تُخْلَقْ كَهَامًا وَلَا خَبْلَا
فَقَالَ الْوَالِي: وَاللهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِالْكَهَامِ الْخَبْلِ غَيْرِي وَاللهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ
The narrator said: Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: We, the company of the Ansar, had a need with the governor, and what we asked of him was a difficult matter. So we went to him with some men of Quraysh and others; they spoke to him and reminded him of the instruction of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning us. He mentioned the difficulty of the matter, and the people excused him and left, but Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) kept pressing him. By Allah! He found no way out but to fulfil our need. So we went out and entered the mosque, and the people were sitting in circles. Hassan said: I laughed, and I was making them hear: By Allah! He, Ibn Abbas, was more deserving of it than all of you. By Allah, this is the remnant of prophethood, the inheritance of Ahmad (peace and blessings be upon him), the refinement of his traits and the essence of the likeness of his nature. The people said: O Hassan, be moderate. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: They have spoken the truth. Then Sayyiduna Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) composed these verses in praise of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both):
"When the face of Ibn Abbas appears before you, you will see excellence for him in every gathering.
When he speaks, he leaves nothing to be said by any speaker, with choice words in which you see no deficiency.
He fulfilled what was in the hearts and healed it, and left for no man of sense anything to say, whether serious or in jest.
You rose to the heights without hardship, and attained their summit, neither as a coward nor as a weakling.
You were created an ally of manliness and generosity, open-hearted, and you were not created dull-witted nor feeble-minded."
Then the governor said: By Allah! By "dull-witted, feeble-minded" he meant none other than me, and Allah is the judge between me and him.
