Encouragement for Poetic Abuse

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) encouraged Hassan bin Thabit to use his poetic skills to abuse the enemies of Allah.

(Through another group of sub narrators) Al-Bara bin Azib said, "On the day of Qurayza's (besiege), Allah's Messenger said to Hassan bin Thabit, 'Abuse them (with your poems), and Gabriel is with you (ie supports you)'. "
