Poetry in the mosque
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، يَسْتَشْهِدُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " يَا حَسَّانُ، أَجِبْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، اللَّهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ ". قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ نَعَمْ.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ،
Translation
Abu Salamah reported that he heard Hassan ibn Thabit al-Ansari calling on Abu Hurairah to bear witness: “I adjure you by Allah: did you hear the Prophet ﷺ say, ‘O Hassan, reply on behalf of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ! O Allah, support him with the Holy Spirit!’?” Abu Hurairah said, “Yes.”
Translator’s note: Hassan was to answer with his poems the satirical poems of the polytheists against the Prophet ﷺ. The Holy Spirit refers to Jibril (Gabriel).

Ebû Seleme, Hassân b. Sâbit el-Ensârî'nin (r.a.) Ebû Hüreyre'yi (r.a.) şahit tutarak şöyle dediğini işittiğini rivayet etti: “Allah aşkına söyle, Nebî'yi ﷺ ‘Ey Hassân, Resûlullah ﷺ adına cevap ver! Allah'ım, onu Rûhu'l-Kudüs ile destekle!’ derken işittin mi?” Ebû Hüreyre: “Evet” dedi.
Translator’s note: Hassân'ın, müşriklerin Nebî ﷺ aleyhindeki hiciv şiirlerine kendi şiirleriyle cevap vermesi kastedilmektedir. Rûhu'l-Kudüs'ten maksat Cebrâil'dir.
