2847. Anas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ entered Makkah during 'Umratil-Qadā' and 'Abdullāh bin Rawāhah was walking in front of him reciting verses of poetry.
"O tribes of disbelievers get out of his way – today we will strike you about its revelation; a strike that removes the heads from the shoulders – and makes the friend not concerned about his friend."
'Umar said to him: "O Ibn Rawāhah! Before the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and in the sanctuary of Allāh you utter poetry?" the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Leave him O 'Umar! For it is quicker upon them than the raining arrow." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīḥ from this route. 'Abdur-Razzāq reported this Hadīth similarly from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhrī from Anas.
It has been related in other narrations that when the Prophet ﷺ entered Makkah during 'Umratil-Qadā' Ka'b bin Mālik was in front of him, and this is more correct according to some of the people of Hadīth because 'Abdullāh bin Rawāhah was killed on the Day of Mu'tah and 'Umratil-Qadā' was after that.

Commentary
The Umrah performed in result of the Hudaybiyah Truce was called Umratul-Qadā. So this Umrah took place in Dhul-Qa'dah 7 A.H.; whereas the battle of Mu'tah took place in Jamādi-ul-Ulā 8 A.H. It is unknown how Imām At-Tirmidhī made the mistake regarding this issue that Umratul-Qadā was performed after the battle of Mu'tah.
