Hadith 255

Narrated [Abu Hurairah (RA)]: Umar came over Hassan while reciting poetry inside the mosque and looked at him sternly, then he (Hassan) said, "I used to recite poetry inside it (the mosque) in the presence of one who is more pious than you [i.e. the Prophet (SAW)]". [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْهُ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ عُمَرَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- مُرَّ بِحَسَّانَ يَنْشُدُ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ , فَلَحَظَ إِلَيْهِ , فَقَالَ : "قَدْ كُنْتُ أَنْشُدُ , وَفِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ } .‏ مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ .‏ <sup>1</sup>‏
