It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to place a pulpit in the mosque for Sayyiduna Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him). He would stand on it and recite poetry to establish the superiority of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and to defend him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would say: "As long as Hassan continues to recite poetry in defense of the Messenger or to establish my superiority, Allah Almighty continues to help him through Jibreel (Gabriel), the Trustworthy."
