Ali Ataie – When Haters Paid Master Poet Hassan ibn Thabit to Write an Ugly Poem About the Prophet

When he came into the city of Medina,

some of the Munafiqeen,

they paid their one of their poets named

Hassan Ibn Fabbid. And they said to Hassan,

you know, when you see Mohammed,

write something about him, make fun of him,

ridicule him in a poem. So Hassan Ibn

Thabit, he was waiting by a certain road

for

for the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam to pass

by. And then the Prophet comes by and

Hassan, he takes one glance into his face.

One glance, one nafra into the face of

the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. And then he

goes back to his people. And then they

said, Did you make a poem about him?

Did you write something?

He said, yes. He says, when I saw

his lights approaching, I had to cover my

eyes out of fear of losing my eyesight

from the beauty of his form. I could

scarcely look at him. A soul from light,

a body as if carved out of the

moon. Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is a human

being, but he's not like other human beings.

He's a diamond and everyone else are stones.

He's a human being, but he's a great

human being.
