[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered Mecca, and Ibn Rawaha was holding his spear and saying, "The sea, Al-Rajz. Let the disbelievers of Bani Kaffarah be prevented from his path today. We will strike you with a blow that will remove the barrier from its path and astonish the true friend. O Lord, I believe in what he says."

البيهقي:٢١٠٣٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقَطَّانُ ثنا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ السَّلِيطِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ وَابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ آخِذٌ بِغَرْزِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ [البحر الرجز] خَلُّوا بَنِي الْكُفَّارِ عَنْ سَبِيلِهْ الْيَوْمَ نَضْرِبْكُمْ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهْ ضَرْبًا يُزِيلُ الْهَامَ عَنْ مَقِيلِهْ وَيُذْهِلُ الْخَلِيلَ عَنْ خَلِيلِهْ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِقِيلِهْ

nasai:2873 – Abū ʿĀṣim Khushaysh b. Aṣram > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Jaʿfar b. Sulaymān > Thābit > Anas

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."

"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)
