English translation

717. It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said: "Umar passed by Hassân bin Thâbit while he was reciting poetry in the Masjid, and glared at him. He said: 'I recited poetry when there was someone better than you in the Masjid.' Then he turned to Abû Hurairah and said: 'Did you not hear the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ when he said: "Answer back on my behalf. O Allâh, help him with the Holy Spirit!"' He said: 'Yes, by Allâh.'" (Sahih)

716 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ: مَرَّ عُمَرُ بِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَهُوَ يُنْشِدُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَلَحَظَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَنْشَدْتُ وَفِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ: أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَجِبْ عَنِّي اللَّهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ؟» قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ
