✧ Ḥassān b. Thābit ؓ recited to the Prophet ﷺ some verses: “I bear witness, by God’s permission, that Muḥammad / is the Messenger of Him who is above the heavens, from on high; / and that Abū Yaḥyā and Yaḥyā, both of them, / have in his religion a work accepted; / and that the brother of al-Aḥqāf, when he stood among them, / spoke concerning the essence of God, and was just.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “And I [bear witness too].”
