Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 24, Hadith 256
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.”
“ خَلِّ عَنْهُ فَلَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ فِيهِمْ مِنْ نَضْحِ النَّبْلِ ” .
