Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ مَرَّ عُمَرُ عَلَى حَسَّانَ وَهُوَ يُنْشِدُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ مَهْ قَالَ لَهُ حَسَّانُ قَدْ كُنْتُ أُنْشِدُ وَفِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ عُمَرُ وَهُوَ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ.
English Translation
Abu Kamil told us, Ibrahim — that is, Ibn Sa'd — told us, Ibn Shihab told us, from Sa'id b. al-Musayyab, who said: 'Umar passed by Hassan while he was reciting in the mosque, and said: "Enough!" Hassan said to him: "I used to recite when there was one in it who is better than you." He said: So 'Umar left, knowing that he meant the Messenger of Allah.
