بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنْ شِعْرِهِChapter: What has been reported regarding Umayyah bin Abi al-Salt and some of his poetry
Hadith 10451
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَنْشَدَهُ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ قَالَ فَأَنْشَدَهُ مِائَةَ قَافِيَةٍ قَالَ فَلَمْ أُنْشِدْهُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا قَالَ إِيهْ إِيهْ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَفْرَغْتُ مِنْ مِائَةِ قَافِيَةٍ قَالَ كَادَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ
Sayyiduna Shuraid narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked him to recite the poetry of Umayyah bin Abi Salt. So I recited one hundred couplets. Whenever I recited any of his poetry to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he would say: "Recite more, recite more." Until when I finished one hundred couplets, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It was close that Umayyah would have become a Muslim."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Umayyah bin Abi al-Salt composed such excellent poetry that even the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) appreciated his verses, but this person was not granted Islam.
