حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَزَارِيُّ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُ لِحَسَّانَ مِنْبَرًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ قَائِمًا ، يُفَاخِرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَوْ قَالَ : يُنَافِحُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَيَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُؤَيِّدُ حَسَّانَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ مَا يُفَاخِرُ أَوْ يُنَافِحُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
´Narrated 'Aishah:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a Minbar placed in the Masjid for Hassan to stand to boast (poetically) about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)" - or she said: "to defend the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Indeed Allah has aided Hassan with the holy spirit (Jibril) as he boasts about - or - defends the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).'"
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُوسَى، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ ، وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَالْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ ابْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ .
Ismail bin Musa and Ali bin Hujr narrated to me, and both of them said that Ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated to us, and Ibn Abi al-Zinad from his father Abu al-Zinad, Abu al-Zinad from Urwah, and Urwah from Aisha, who narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the same manner.

2- In this chapter, there are also hadiths from Abu Huraira and Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:

Presenting poetry in the mosque in honor of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is a permissible act.


This was a great honor for Hassan (radi Allahu anhu) that for a noble purpose, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) offered his own pulpit, and gave the glad tidings of support from Jibril (alayhis salam).


The background of this hadith should be kept in mind: Hassan (radi Allahu anhu) became involved in the incident of Ifk concerning Aisha Siddiqa (radi Allahu anha), and he was subjected to the prescribed punishment (hadd) as well. Later, when someone criticized him in the presence of Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (radi Allahu anha), she, overlooking her personal matter, openly acknowledged his services for Islam and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), as is mentioned in this hadith.
