اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ الشَّرِيدُ كُنْتُ رَدِيفًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي أَمَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ ابْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْءٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَنْشِدْنِي فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ لِي كُلَّمَا أَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا إِيهْ حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ بَيْتٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَكَتُّ
(Second Chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shuraid (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Do you remember any poetry of Umayyah bin Abi Salt? I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite to me. So I recited a verse, and whenever I finished a verse, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: Recite more. Until I had recited one hundred verses to him (peace and blessings be upon him), then he (peace and blessings be upon him) became silent and I also became silent.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam listened to poetry containing the message of tawhid (monotheism), even though these were composed by non-Muslims.
