Sahih Muslim 2489a (Book 44, Hadith 223) #13474
Writing Satire Against Relatives

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Hassan's request to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to write satire against Abu Sufyan, and the Prophet's response that he is also related to him.

'A'isha reported that Hassin said: Allah's Messenger, permit me to write satire against Abu Sufyan, whereupon he said: How can it be because I am also related to him? Thereupon he (Hassan) said: By Him Who has honoured you. I shall draw you out from them (their family) just as hair is drawn out from the fermented (flour). Thereupon Hassan said: The dignity and greatness belongs to the tribe of Bint Makhzum from amongst the tribe of Hisham, whereas your father was a slave.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ حَسَّانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فِي أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَيْفَ بِقَرَابَتِي مِنْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ لأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعَرَةُ مِنَ الْخَمِيرِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ وَإِنَّ سَنَامَ الْمَجْدِ مِنْ آلِ هَاشِمٍ بَنُو بِنْتِ مَخْزُومٍ وَوَالِدُكَ الْعَبْدُ قَصِيدَتَهُ هَذِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect your relatives .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of respecting one’s relatives, even if they are not from one’s own family. Hassan asked the Prophet Muhammad permission to write satire against Abu Sufyan, but the Prophet refused because he was related to him. The Prophet then reminded Hassan of his own family background and how it was different from his own. This teaches us that we should always respect our relatives regardless of their background or social status, as this is a sign of good character and piety in Islam. We should also remember that Allah has given us all dignity and greatness regardless of our backgrounds or social statuses, so we should never look down on anyone for any reason whatsoever.
