The report of Ḥassān b. Thābit concerning his birth ﷺ
[ رِوَايَةُ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مَوْلِدِهِ ﷺ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ إبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ. قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ شِئْتُ مِنْ رِجَالِ قَوْمِي عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ إنِّي لَغُلَامٌ يَفَعَةٌ، ابْنُ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ أَوْ ثَمَانٍ، أَعْقِلُ كُلَّ مَا سَمِعْتُ، إذْ سَمِعْتُ يَهُودِيًّا يَصْرُخُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ عَلَى أَطَمَةٍ بِيَثْرِبَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ يَهُودِ، حَتَّى إذَا اجْتَمَعُوا إلَيْهِ، قَالُوا لَهُ: وَيْلَكَ مَا لَكَ ؟ قَالَ: طَلَعَ اللَّيْلَةَ نَجْمُ أَحْمَدِ الَّذِي وُلِدَ بِهِ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، فَقُلْتُ. ابْنُ كَمْ كَانَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مَقْدَمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ ؟ فَقَالَ: ابْنُ سِتِّينَ ( سَنَةً )، وَقَدِمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، فَسَمِعَ حَسَّانُ مَا سَمِعَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ
Translation
✧ [The report of Ḥassān b. Thābit concerning his birth ﷺ] Ibn Isḥāq said: And Ṣāliḥ b. Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf narrated to me, from Yaḥyā b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Saʿd b. Zurārah al-Anṣārī. He said: Narrated to me whomever I wished of the men of my people, from Ḥassān b. Thābit, who said: By God, I was a growing boy, seven or eight years old, understanding all that I heard, when I heard a Jew crying out at the top of his voice from a fortress in Yathrib: O assembly of Jews! When they gathered to him, they said to him: Woe to you! What is the matter with you? He said: Tonight the star of Aḥmad has risen, the one by which he was born. Muḥammad b. Isḥāq said: I asked Saʿīd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ḥassān b. Thābit, saying: How old was Ḥassān b. Thābit when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah? He said: Sixty years old, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to it when he was fifty-three years old, so Ḥassān heard what he heard when he was seven years old.
