Sunan an-Nasa'i 716

Translation

"Umar passed by Hassan bin Thabit 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 Abu Hurairah and said: 'Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said: "Answer back on my behalf. O Allah, help him with the Holy Spirit!'" He said: 'Yes, by Allah.'"

  يرويه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه عبد الأعلى عن معمر عن الزهري عن عروة عن حسان بن ثابت وأبي هريرة ورواه شعيب بن أبي حمزة وصالح بن أبي الأخضر عن الزهري عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة وحسان بن ثابت ورواه ابن عيينة عن الزهري وحسان ورواه إسماعيل بن أمية عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب وحده عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وفي آخره قال ابن شهاب وقال حسان لأبي هريرة أسمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول اللهم أيده بروح القدس قال نعم فصار الزهري عن أبي هريرة مرسل وحديث عبد الأعلى بن عبد الأعلى عن معمر خطأ وهو محفوظ عن الزهري عن سعيد وعن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة

  machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated it from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUrwah, from Ḥassān b. Thābit and Abū Hurayrah. Shuʿayb b. Abī Ḥamzah and Ṣāliḥ b. Abī al-Akhḍar narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah and Ḥassān b. Thābit. Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated it from al-Zuhrī and Ḥassān. Ismāʿīl b. Umayyah narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab alone, from the Prophet ﷺ, and at its end he said: Ibn Shihāb said: Ḥassān said to Abū Hurayrah, "Did you hear the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'O God, support him with the Holy Spirit'?" He said: "Yes." Thus al-Zuhrī's report from Abū Hurayrah is mursal. The report of ʿAbd al-Aʿlā b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā from Maʿmar is an error (khaṭaʾ); what is preserved (maḥfūẓ) is from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd, and from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah. Report a problem
