Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1616 — The Book of the Virtues of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ

Sa'îd bin Al-Musaiyab Narrated from:

'Umar came to the mosque while Hassân was reciting a poem. ('Umar disapproved of that). On that Hassân said, "I used to recite poetry in this very mosque in the presence of one (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ) who was better than you." Then he turned towards Abû Huraira and said (to him), “I ask you by Allâh, did you hear Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ saying (to me), ‘Retort on my behalf. O Allâh! Support him (i.e. Hassân) with the Rûh-ul-Qudus (Holy Spirit)?’ ” Abû Huraira said, “Yes.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 434, Vol. 4)
