Al-Bari' b. 'Azib reported: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Hassan b. Thibit, write satire (against the non-believers) ;
Gabriel is with you. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيٍّ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَابِتٍ
- قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِحَسَّانَ
بْنِ ثَابِتٍ
" اهْجُهُمْ أَوْ هَاجِهِمْ وَجِبْرِيلُ مَعَكَ " .
