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.
