In this paper we consider a generalization of the discrete Poisson kernel for the Hahn polynomials obtained recently by Gasper [6]. The Hahn polynomials of degree n are defined by

(1.1)

and are known to be orthogonal on the set of non-negative integers x = 0, 1, . . . , N provided Re α, β > - l or Re α, β < -N [7; 8].
