(109) باب إِنْشَادِ الشِّعْرِ فِي الْحَرَمِ وَالْمَشْىِ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ الإِمَامِ
It was narrated from Anas that:
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 revelationWith blows that will remove beads from shouldersAnd 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." (AR)
