It is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a pulpit placed in Masjid al-Nabawi for Sayyiduna Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him), so that he could sit on it and recite poetry in defense of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in response to the satirical verses of the disbelievers. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: As long as Hassan defends the Messenger of Allah, Allah Almighty helps him through the Holy Spirit, that is, Jibreel (peace be upon him).
