5014 — Ahmad ibn Salih narrated to us, ‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma‘mar informed us, on the authority of al-Zuhri, on the authority of Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, with the same meaning, adding: “He feared that he would strike him with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, so he permitted him.”(1)

5015 — Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Misisi, Luwayn, narrated to us, Ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated to us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of ‘Urwah. And Hisham, on the authority of ‘Urwah, on the authority of ‘A’ishah, who said: “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to place a pulpit for Hassan ibn Thabit in the mosque, upon which he would stand and satirize those who spoke against the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘The Holy Spirit is with Hassan as long as he defends the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.’”(2)

(1) Its chain of transmission is sound.
It is in the “Musannaf of ‘Abd al-Razzaq” (20509), and from his path Muslim (2485) (151) transmitted it with this chain. However, without the addition to which the compiler referred.
Muslim (2485) (151) also transmitted it through multiple paths from Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah, from al-Zuhri, with it.
Al-Bukhari (453) and (6152), Muslim (2485) (152), and al-Nasa’i in “al-Kubra” (9928) transmitted it via the path of Shu‘ayb, and al-Bukhari (6152) via the path of Muhammad ibn Abi ‘Atiq, both from Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, that he heard Hassan ibn Thabit al-Ansari calling upon Abu Hurayrah as a witness. He then related it in a manner similar to the addition we referred to in the aforementioned hadith of the compiler, via the path of Sa‘id from ‘Umar.
It is in the “Musnad of Ahmad” (7644) and (21936), and the “Sahih of Ibn Hibban” (1653).
The addition to which Abu Dawud referred: ‘Abd al-Razzaq transmitted it in his “Musannaf” (1716) and (20510), and al-Tabarani in “al-Kabir” (3585) and (3586), but they did not mention Abu Hurayrah in the hadith.
See also what precedes it.
His saying: “He feared” — it was said in “‘Awn al-Ma‘bud”: i.e., ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. “With the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,” i.e., with his permission, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. “So he permitted him,” i.e., ‘Umar permitted Hassan to recite poetry in the mosque.

(2) A sound hadith due to corroborating evidence, except for his saying: “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to place a pulpit for Hassan in the mosque.” This chain is weak due to the weakness of Ibn Abi al-Zinad — who is ‘Abd al-Rahman, and he was alone =
