أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي، نا أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْقَطَّانُ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، نا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الرَّمْلِيُّ، نا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ الْمُرَادِيُّ، نا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي شَيْخٌ جَارٌ لِي بِإِفْرِيقِيَّةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَهُوَ يُنَوِّهُ بِأَسْمَائِهِ، وَهُوَ
يَقُولُ:" أَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَا ابْنُ الْفُرَيْعَةِ، أَنَا الْحُسَامُ"، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: سَمِعْتُكَ الْبَارِحَةَ تُنَوِّهُ بِأَسْمَائِكَ، فَمَا الَّذِي أَعْجَبَكَ؟ قَالَ:" عَالَجْتُ بَيْتًا فِي الشَّعَرِ حَكَمْتُهُ نَوَّهْتُ بِأَسْمَائِي"، فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا الْبَيْتُ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: [البحر الطويل] وَإِنِ امْرَأً يُمْسِي وَيُصْبِحُ سَالِمًا... مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا مَا جَنَى لِسَعِيدُ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ: زَادَنِي فِيهِ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخَالِدِيُّ: فَلَمَّا مَاتَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حَسَّانٍ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِيهِ أَوَقَدَ نَارًا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَيُّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حَسَّانٍ: وَقَدْ قُلْتُ بَيْتًا فَخِفْتُ أَنْ يَسْقُطَ بِحَدَثٍ عَلَيَّ فَجَمَعْتُكُمْ لِتَسْمَعُوهُ، فَأَنْشَدَهُمْ: [البحر الطويل] وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ نَالَ الْغِنَى ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنَلْ... صَدِيقًا وَلَا ذَا حَاجَةٍ لَزَهِيدُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَعَلَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِثْلَهُ ذَلِكَ وَأْنَشَدَهُمْ: [البحر الطويل] وَإِنِ امْرَأً لَاحَى الرِّجَالَ عَلَى الْغِنَى... وَلَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللهَ الْغِنَى لَحَسُودُ

He was saying: "I am Ḥassān b. Thābit, I am the son of al-Furayʿah, I am al-Ḥusām (the sword)." When morning came I went to him early and said to him: "Last night I heard you proclaiming your names. What was it that pleased you?" He said: "I worked on a line of poetry and perfected it, so I proclaimed my names." I said: "What is the line?" He said: I said: [Meter: al-Ṭawīl] And indeed a man who spends his evening and morning safe from people, except for what he himself has committed, is truly fortunate. Abū Isḥāq said: Abū al-Ḥusayn b. Abī Saʿīd al-Khālidī added to me regarding it: When Ḥassān b. Thābit died, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ḥassān, after his father's death, kindled a fire until the clan gathered around him. Then ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ḥassān said to us: "I have composed a line and I feared it might be lost through some mishap befalling me, so I gathered you to hear it." So he recited to them: [Meter: al-Ṭawīl] And indeed a man who attains wealth and then gains neither a friend nor one in need is truly indifferent. When ʿAbd al-Raḥmān died, Saʿīd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān did the same and recited to them: [Meter: al-Ṭawīl] And indeed a man who quarrels with people over wealth and does not ask God for wealth is truly envious.
