حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَمْشِي وَهُوَ يَقُولُ خَلُّوا بَنِي الْكُفَّارِ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ الْيَوْمَ نَضْرِبْكُمْ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ ضَرْبًا يُزِيلُ الْهَامَ عَنْ مَقِيلِهِ وَيُذْهِلُ الْخَلِيلَ عَنْ خَلِيلِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَفِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ تَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " خَلِّ عَنْهُ يَا عُمَرُ فَلَهِيَ أَسْرَعُ فِيهِمْ مِنْ نَضْحِ النَّبْلِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَقَدْ رَوَى عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ أَيْضًا عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا وَرُوِيَ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ وَكَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ لأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ مُؤْتَةَ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَتْ عُمْرَةُ الْقَضَاءِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ .

Anas reported that the Prophet entered Makkah during the make-up ‘umrah, with ‘Abd Allah ibn Rawahah walking before him and reciting: ‘Make way for the sons of the disbelievers! Today, we will strike you for its revelation—a blow that sends heads flying from their resting places and makes a friend forget his friend.’ ‘Umar said, ‘Ibn Rawahah, in front of the Messenger of Allah and in Allah’s sanctuary, you recite poetry?’ The Prophet said, ‘Leave him, ‘Umar. It reaches them faster than arrows being shot.’

Abu ‘Isa graded this hadith hasan sahih gharib through this route. ‘Abd al-Razzaq also transmitted a similar report from Ma‘mar, from al-Zuhri, from Anas. Another version places Ka‘b ibn Malik before the Prophet during the make-up ‘umrah, and some hadith scholars consider that version more accurate: ‘Abd Allah ibn Rawahah was killed at Mu’tah, which occurred before the make-up ‘umrah.
