(121) باب اسْتِقْبَالِ الْحَجِّ
It was narrated that Anas said:
"The Prophet entered Makkah during Umratul-Qada' and Ibn Rawahah went before him, saying: Get out of his way, you unbelievers, make way.Today we will fight about its revelationWith blows that will remove heads from shouldersAnd make friend unmindful of friend.Umar said to him: "O Ibn Rawahah! In the Sanctuary of Allah and in front of the Messenger of Allah you recite poetry?" The Prophet said: "Let him do that, for by the one in whose hand is my soul, his words are harder for them than being shot with arrows." (TR)
