[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Mock the Quraysh, for it troubles them more than the raising of the nobility." So he sent to Ibn Rawaha and said, "Mock them." He mocked them, but they were not pleased. So he sent to Ka'b ibn Malik, then he sent to Hassan ibn Thabit. When Hassan entered, he said, "It is time for you to send to this lion striking with his tail." Then he moved his tongue and began to recite poetry. He said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I will make them flee, tearing the flesh." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not hurry, for Abu Bakr is more knowledgeable of the lineage of the Quraysh than anyone, and I have a lineage among them until your lineage is purified." So Hassan went to him and then returned and said, "O Messenger of Allah, your lineage is pure to me. By the One who sent you with the truth, I will answer them like separating a hair from dough." Aisha said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to Hassan, 'The Holy Spirit continues to support you as long as you defend Allah and His Messenger.'" She said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Hassan mocked them and they were healed and felt pain.'" Hassan said.
