[Machine] Hassan ibn Thabit sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to verbally attack the polytheists. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "But what about my relation with them?" Hassan replied, "I will ask you questions about them just as a strand of hair is separated from dough." (This narration is according to the stipulation of al-Bukhari and Muslim)
