It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah, the people of Makkah stood in two rows. The narrator said that (on this occasion) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting these verses: "O sons of the disbelievers, clear the way for him (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)). Today we will strike you over its (the Qur'an's) revelation, with a blow that removes heads from their resting places and makes a close friend forget his friend. O my Lord, I fully believe in his (the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him)) word." The narrator said that (seeing this) Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Ibn Rawahah! Are you reciting poetry in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and in the Sanctuary of Allah?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stop, O Umar (let him say it), for these words are harder on them (the disbelievers) than the striking of arrows."
