Majma al-Zawaid 13295 — Reports on praise, eulogy and those
وَعَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أُنْشِدُكَ ؟ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَأَنْشَدَهُ الرَّابِعَةَ مَدِيحَهُ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الشُّعَرَاءِ يُحْسِنُ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ رَاوٍ لَمْ يُسَمَّ وَعَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ اخْتَلَطَ .
Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from Banu Layth came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I recite poetry to you?" He said this three times. When, the fourth time, he recited his praise of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If any of the poets does well, then you have done well."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator who is not named, and Ata bin al-Sa'ib, whose memory became confused (ikhtilat).
