Banat Suad: The Prophet ﷺ Listened to This Poem From Beginning to End | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan

This poet once insulted the Prophet ﷺ — then stood before him, recited new verses… and walked away wearing the Prophet's ﷺ cloak.

This is the true story of Banat Su'ad: a poem that turned an enemy into a forgiven companion. Kaʿb ibn Zuhayr was once known for mocking the Prophet ﷺ and attacking his family with his words. Fearing for his life, he came to Madinah, sat in front of the Prophet ﷺ, and asked, "If Kaʿb came to you now and accepted Islam, would you forgive him?"

When the Prophet ﷺ said yes, Kaʿb revealed himself and recited Banat Su'ad — a masterpiece of Arabic poetry, rich with imagery, fear, and hope. The Prophet ﷺ listened without interruption, moved by Kaʿb's sincerity and eloquence. Then, in a moment that made history, he ﷺ removed his Burdah and placed it over Kaʿb's shoulders — and the poem came to be known as Qaseedah al-Burdah.

In this video, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unpacks the poem's language, striking metaphors, and timeless lessons behind each verse. Witness how one poem turned mockery into mercy — and why Banat Su'ad is still recited and studied by seekers of knowledge to this day.
