حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَزَارِيُّ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، وَالْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُ لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ مِنْبَرًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ قَائِمًا يُفَاخِرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَوْ قَالَ: يُنَافِحُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَيَقُولُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُؤَيِّدُ حَسَّانَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ مَا يُنَافِحُ أَوْ يُفَاخِرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would have a pulpit placed in the mosque for Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), upon which he would stand and express pride on behalf of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or she says that he would defend the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And during this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say, "As long as Hassan continues to express pride on behalf of the Messenger of Allah or defends him, Allah Almighty will continue to help him through the Holy Spirit (Jibreel Amin, peace be upon him)."
