[Machine] Zubayr ibn al-Awwam passed by a gathering of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Hassaan recited poetry to them while they were not paying much attention. Zubayr sat with them and said, "Why do I see you not giving more attention to the poetry of Ibn al-Furai'ah? The Prophet ﷺ used to appreciate it, listen to it carefully, and generously reward him for it. He would not be distracted from it by anything." Hassaan replied, "He stood by the Prophet's covenant and his guidance. His words matched his actions. He was a loyal advocate for the truth, the most famous knight and warrior who would lead battles. Even if he was from a noble lineage and his mother was Safiyyah, he would not be protected from the Messenger of Allah's nearness. He was also a supporter of Islam, a source of honor and glory. How many hardships did Zubayr endure and how many battles did he fight for the sake of the chosen one? Allah rewards abundantly when hardships are revealed. He hastens towards death with noble and courageous readiness. There is no match for him among them, nor was there before him. As long as you continue to praise him, it is better than any worldly gain. Your actions, O son of Hashim, are superior."
