Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِحَسَّانَ ‏"‏ اهْجُهُمْ ـ أَوْ هَاجِهِمْ ـ وَجِبْرِيلُ مَعَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Hafs ibn ʿUmar narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us, from ʿAdi ibn Thabit, from al-Baraʾ (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Hassan: ‘Satirize them—or engage them in invective—and Gabriel is with you.’

Translation notes
  • The Arabic gives two variant forms of the command: اهجهم or هاجهم.
