Hadith 2485
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ كُلُّهُمْ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : " أَنَّ عُمَرَ مَرَّ بِحَسَّانَ وَهُوَ يُنْشِدُ الشِّعْرَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَحَظَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ كُنْتُ أُنْشِدُ وَفِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : أَجِبْ عَنِّي اللَّهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that 'Umar happened to pass by Hassan as he was reciting verses in the mosque. He (Hadrat 'Umar) looked towards him (meaningfully), whereupon he (gassin) said: I used to recite (verses) when one better than you (the Holy Prophet) had been present (here). He then looked towards Abu Hurairah (RA) and said to him: I adjure you by Allah (to tell) if you had not heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: (Hassan), give a reply on my behalf; Allah I help him with Ruh-ul-Qudus. He ( Abu Hurairah (RA) ) said: By Allah, it is so (i. e. the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) actually said these words).

حَدَّثَنَاه إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ : أَنَّ حَسَّانَ ، قَالَ فِي حَلْقَةٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ .
Ibn Musayyib reported that Hassan said to a circle in which there was also Abu Hurairah (RA) : Abu Hurairah (RA) , I adjure you by Allah (to tell) whether you-had not heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying like this.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَسْتَشْهِدُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ ، هَلْ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : يَا حَسَّانُ ، أَجِبْ عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : نَعَمْ " .
'Abdul Rahman reported that he heard Hassin bin Thabit al-Ansari call Abu Hurairah (RA) to bear witness by saying: I adjure you by Allah if you had not heard Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) saying: Hassin, give a reply on behalf of the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, help him with Ruh-ul-Qudus. Abu Hurairah (RA) said: Yes, it is so.
