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." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2873)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ [البحر الرجز] خَلُّوا بَنِي الْكُفَّارِ عَنْ سَبِيلِهْ الْيَوْمَ نَضْرِبُكُمْ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهْ ضَرْبًا يُزِيلُ الْهَامَ عَنْ مَقِيلِهْ وَيُذْهِلُ الْخَلِيلَ عَنْ خَلِيلِهْ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ أبَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي حَرَمِ اللهِ تَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «خَلِّ عَنْهُ فَلَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ فِيهِمْ مِنْ نَضْحِ النَّبْلِ»
