English translation
[6395] 157 - (2490) It was narrated from 'Āishah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Lampoon the Quraish, for it will hurt them more than arrows." He sent word to Ibn Rawāḥah, saying: "Lampoon them." So he lampooned them but it was not good enough. Then he sent word to Ka'b bin Mālik, then he sent word to Ḥassān bin Thābit. When he entered upon him, Ḥassān said: "Now you have sent for this lion who wreaks vengeance then waves his tail about," then he stuck out his tongue
and moved it. He said: "By the One Who sent you with the Truth, I shall tear them with my tongue as leather is torn." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not be hasty. Abū Bakr is most knowledgeable about their lineage, and I share a lineage with them. (Wait) until he summarizes my lineage for you." Ḥassān went to him, then he came back and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, he has summarized your lineage for me. By the One Who sent you with the Truth, I shall draw you out from among them as a hair is drawn out of the dough."
‘Āishah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say to Ḥassān: 'The Holy Spirit will continue to support you, so long as you are defending Allāh and His Messenger.'"
She said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Ḥassān has lampooned them and has satisfied himself and others.'"
Ḥassān said:
'You satirized Muḥammad, but I replied on his behalf,
And there is reward with Allāh for this.
You satirized Muḥammad, virtuous, righteous,
The Messenger of Allāh, whose nature is sincerity.
So verily my father and my mother and my honor
Are a protection to the honor of Muḥammad.
May I lose my dear daughter, if you don't see them (horses),Stirring up the dust on the two sides of Kadâ' (a hill near Makkah)..
They (horses) pull at the reins, going upwards,
On their shoulders are spears thirsting (for the blood of the enemy).
Our steeds are galloping, our women wipe them with their mantles.
If you leave us alone, we will perform 'Umrah
And this will be a victory.
Otherwise wait for the fighting on the day on which Allâh will honor whom He pleases.
And Allâh said: "I have sent a servant who speak the truth in which there is no ambiguity."
And Allâh said: "I have prepared an army" - they are the Anṣâr whose object is fighting (the enemy)
There reaches every day from Ma'dd abuse, or fighting, or satire.
Whoever satirizes the Messenger from among you, or praises him and helps, it is all the same,
And Jibrîl, the Messenger of Allâh is among us, and the Holy Spirit who has no match."

157 - (2490) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «اهْجُوا قُرَيْشًا، فَإِنَّهُ أَشَدُّ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ رَشْقٍ بِالنَّبْلِ» فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَالَ: «اهْجُهُمْ» فَهَجَاهُمْ فَلَمْ يُرْضِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ حَسَّانُ: قَدْ آنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُرْسِلُوا إِلَى هَذَا الْأَسَدِ الضَّارِبِ بِذَنَبِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَدْلَعَ لِسَانَهُ فَجَعَلَ يُحَرِّكُهُ، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَأَفْرِيَنَّهُمْ بِلِسَانِي فَرْيَ الْأَدِيمِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَعْجَلْ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْلَمُ قُرَيْشٍ بِأَنْسَابِهَا، وَإِنَّ لِي فِيهِمْ نَسَبًا، حَتَّى يُلَخِّصَ لَكَ نَسَبِي» فَأَتَاهُ حَسَّانُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ لَخَّصَ لِي نَسَبَكَ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ الْعَجِينِ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ لِحَسَّانَ: «إِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ لَا يَزَالُ يُؤَيِّدُكَ، مَا نَافَحْتَ عَنِ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»، وَقَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «هَجَاهُمْ حَسَّانُ فَشَفَى وَاشْتَفَى» قَالَ حَسَّانُ:
[البحر الوافر]
هَجَوْتَ مُحَمَّدًا فَأَجَبْتُ عَنْهُ ... وَعِنْدَ اللهِ فِي ذَاكَ الْجَزَاءُ
هَجَوْتَ مُحَمَّدًا بَرًّا حَنِيفًا ... رَسُولَ اللهِ شِيمَتُهُ الْوَفَاءُ
فَإِنَّ أَبِي وَوَالِدَهُ وَعِرْضِي ... لِعِرْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْكُمْ وِقَاءُ
ثَكِلْتُ بُنَيَّتِي إِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا ... تُثِيرُ النَّقْعَ مِنْ كَنَفَيْ كَدَاءِ
يُبَارِينَ الْأَعِنَّةَ مُصْعِدَاتٍ ... عَلَى أَكْتَافِهَا الْأَسَلُ الظِّمَاءُ
تَظَلُّ جِيَادُنَا مُتَمَطِّرَاتٍ ... تُلَطِّمُهُنَّ بِالْخُمُرِ النِّسَاءُ
فَإِنْ أَعْرَضْتُمُو عَنَّا اعْتَمَرْنَا ... وَكَانَ الْفَتْحُ وَانْكَشَفَ الْغِطَاءُ
وَإِلَّا فَاصْبِرُوا لِضِرَابِ يَوْمٍ ... يُعِزُّ اللهُ فِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ
وَقَالَ اللهُ: قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ عَبْدًا ... يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ لَيْسَ بِهِ خَفَاءُ
وَقَالَ اللهُ: قَدْ يَسَّرْتُ جُنْدًا ... هُمُ الْأَنْصَارُ عُرْضَتُهَا اللِّقَاءُ
لَنَا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ مَعَدٍّ ... سِبَابٌ أَوْ قِتَالٌ أَوْ هِجَاءُ
فَمَنْ يَهْجُو رَسُولَ اللهِ مِنْكُمْ ... وَيَمْدَحُهُ وَيَنْصُرُهُ سَوَاءُ
وَجِبْرِيلٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ فِينَا ... وَرُوحُ الْقُدُسِ لَيْسَ لَهُ كِفَاءُ
