Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ مَرَّ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِحَسَّانَ وَهُوَ يُنْشِدُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَحَظَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ أُنْشِدُ وَفِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ ثُم
َّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَجِبْ عَنِّي اللَّهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ قَالَ نَعَمْ

English Translation
It was narrated from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib that Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by Hassan while he was reciting poetry in the mosque and glared at him. Hassan said: 'I used to recite here when there was someone better than you present.' Then he turned to Abu Hurayra and said: 'Have you not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: «O Hassan, reply on my behalf. O Allah, support him with the Holy Spirit.»?' Abu Hurayra said: 'Yes.'
