Q
How did the Prophet respond to requests for composing poetry against his adversaries?
A
Once Hassan bin Thabit asked the permission of the Prophet (ﷺ) to lampoon (i.e. compose satirical poetry
defaming) the infidels. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “What about the fact that I have common descent with
them?” Hassan replied, “I shall take you out of them as a hair is taken out of dough.”
Narrated `Urwa: I started abusing Hassan in front of `Aisha, whereupon she said. “Don’t abuse him,
for he used to defend the Prophet (with his poetry).
