and that Abū Yaḥyā and Yaḥyā—both of them … each has a deed that his Lord accepts. (1)
Both couplets have likewise been transmitted as belonging to Ḥassān.

Sharik narrated—from al-Miqdām ibn Shurayḥ, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah:
“The Prophet ﷺ would sometimes quote the poetry of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rawāḥah, and on occasion he recited:
‘And one for whom you packed no provisions will come to you with news.’ (2)”

Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar ibn al-Zubayr related to us, from ʿUrwah, who said:
“Then he took the banner—that is, after the previous bearer had been killed. He wrapped it around a little, advanced with it on his horse, and began urging himself to dismount, hesitating for a moment.
ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Bakr ibn Ḥazm told me that at that moment he recited:
‘I swear by Allah, you will dismount—
willingly, or be forced to do it.
Though the people surge and raise the war-cry,
why do I see you shrinking from Paradise?
You have rested long enough in ease;
what are you but a drop of fluid in a skin?’

He then dismounted, fought, and was killed.

(1) All the transmitters are reliable, yet the isnad is mursal (a Companion link is missing). See Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr, al-Istiʿab, vol. 6, pp. 187–179, and the author’s own work al-ʿUluw. (2) Reported by Ahmad, 6/222; al-Tirmidhi, no. 2852, Book of Manners, chapter “Reciting Poetry”; and al-Bukhari in al-Adab al-Mufrad, no. 867. Ibn Abi Shayba transmitted a similar wording from Ibn ʿAbbas, as noted by Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari, 10/447. The opening hemistich is “Satudbi laka al-ayamu ma kunta jahilan” (“Time will soon show you what you were ignorant of”); it is taken from the Muʿallaqa of Tarafa ibn al-ʿAbd al-Bakri.
وَأَنَّ أَبَا يَحْيَى وَيَحْيَى كِلاَهُمَا ... لَهُ عَمَلٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مُتَقَبَّلُ (١) وَقَدْ رُوِيَا لِحَسَّانٍ. شَرِيْكٌ: عَنِ المِقْدَامِ بنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: كَانَ يَتَمَثَّلُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشِعْرِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ رَوَاحَةَ، وَربَّمَا قَالَ: وَيَأَتِيْكَ بِالأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوِّدِ (٢) ... ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ جَعْفَرِ بنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ - يَعْنِي بَعْدَ قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ -. قَالَ: فَالْتَوَى بَعْضَ الاَلْتِوَاءِ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ بِهَا عَلَى فَرَسِهِ، فَجَعَلَ يَسْتَنْزِلُ نَفْسَهُ، وَيَتَرَدَّدُ بِهَا بَعْضَ التَّردُّدِ. قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بنِ حَزْمٍ: أَنَّهُ قَالَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: أَقْسَمْتُ بِاللهِ لَتَنْزِلِنَّهْ ... طَائِعَةً أَوْ لاَ لَتُكْرَهِنَّهْ إِنْ أَجْلَبَ النَّاسُ وَشَدُّوا الرَّنَّهْ ... مَا لِي أَرَاكِ تَكْرَهِيْنَ الجَنَّهْ قَدْ طَالَ مَا قَدْ كُنْتِ مُطْمَئِنَّهْ ... هَلْ أَنْتِ إِلاَّ نُطْفَةٌ فِي شَنَّهْ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ، فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ.
