the Prophet entered Makkah during the Umratul-Qada, and Abdullah bin Rawahah was walking in front of him and saying: Get out of his way, you unbelievers, make way. Today we will fight about its revelation With blows that will remove beads from shoulders And make friend unmindful of friends. Umar said to him: "O Ibn Rawahah! In front of the Messenger of Allah and in the Sancturary of Allah, the Might and Sublime, you recite poetry?" The Prophet said: "Let him do so, for what he is saying is more effective than shooting arrows at them."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ خَلُّوا بَنِي الْكُفَّارِ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ الْيَوْمَ نَضْرِبْكُمْ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ ضَرْبًا يُزِيلُ الْهَامَ عَنْ مَقِيلِهِ وَيُذْهِلُ الْخَلِيلَ عَنْ خَلِيلِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ ﷻ تَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَلِّ عَنْهُ فَلَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ فِيهِمْ مِنْ نَضْحِ النَّبْلِ

"The Prophet entered Makkah during Umratul-Qada' and Ibn Rawahah went before him, saying: Get out of his way, you unbelievers, make way. Today we will fight about its revelation With blows that will remove heads from shoulders And make friend unmindful of friend. Umar said to him: "O Ibn Rawahah! In the Sanctuary of Allah and in front of the Messenger of Allah you recite poetry?" The Prophet said: "Let him do that, for by the one in whose hand is my soul, his words are harder for them than being shot with arrows." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2893)  

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَكَّةَ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ وَابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ [البحر الرجز] خَلُّوا بَنِي الْكُفَّارِ عَنْ سَبِيلِهْ الْيَوْمَ نَضْرِبُكُمْ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهْ ضَرْبًا يُزِيلُ الْهَامَ عَنْ مَقِيلِهْ وَيُذْهِلُ الْخَلِيلَ عَنْ خَلِيلِهْ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ أَفِي حَرَمِ اللهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ تَقُولُ هَذَا الشِّعْرَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «خَلِّ عَنْهُ يَا عُمَرُ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَلَامُهُ أَشَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ وَقْعِ النَّبْلِ»
