It was narrated that Saeed bin Al-Musayyab said: “Umar passed by Hassan bin Thabit while he was reciting poetry in the Masjid, and glared at him. He said: ‘I recited poetry when there was someone better than you in the Masjid.’ Then he turned to Abu Hurairah and said: ‘Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when he said: “Answer back on my behalf. Allah, help him with the Holy Spirit!” He said: ‘Yes, by Allah.” (Sahih)
