Narrated Anas: that the Prophet ﷺ entered Makkah during Umrat al-Qada and 'Abdullah bin Rawahah was walking in front of him reciting verses of poetry".O tribes of disbelievers get out of his way - today we will strike you about its revelation; a strike that removes the heads from the shoulders - and makes the friend not concerned about his friend"'.Umar said to him: "O Ibn Rawahah! Before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and in the sanctuary of Allah you utter poetry?" the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Leave him O 'Umar! For it is quicker upon them than the raining arrow".
The lesson here is that we should always think before speaking or acting so as not to cause unnecessary harm or hurt someone's feelings unnecessarily. We must also remember that words can have more power than physical actions, so it is important for us to choose our words carefully when communicating with others.
