Narrated Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab: `Umar came to the Mosque while Hassan was reciting a poem. (`Umar disapproved of that). On that Hassan said, I used to recite poetry in this very Mosque in the presence of one (i.e. the Prophet ) who was better than you. Then he turned towards Abu Huraira and said (to him), I ask you by Allah, did you hear Allah's Apostle saying (to me), Retort on my behalf. O Allah! Support him (i.e. Hassan) with the Holy Spirit? Abu Huraira said, Yes.
