Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14419

وَعَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي حَمَدْتُ رَبِّي - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - بِمَحَامِدَ وَمَدْحٍ ، وَإِيَّاكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَمَا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - يُحِبُّ الْمَدْحَ ، هَاتِ مَا امْتَدَحْتَ بِهِ رَبَّكَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - " . قَالَ : فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ ، آدَمُ ، طِوَالٌ ، أَصْلَعُ ، أَيْسَرُ أَعْسَرُ ، فَاسْتَنْصَتَنِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَوَصَفَ لَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ كَيْفَ اسْتَنْصَتَهُ لَهُ قَالَ : كَمَا يَصْنَعُ الْهِرُّ - فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ فَتَكَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ أَيْضًا ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَعْدُ فَاسْتَنْصَتَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَوَصَفَهُ أَيْضًا ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَنِ الَّذِي تَسْتَنْصِتُنِي لَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : " هَذَا رَجُلٌ لَا يُحِبُّ الْبَاطِلَ ، هَذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَقَالَ : فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ طِوَالٌ أَقْنَى ، فَقَالَ لِيَ : " اسْكُتْ " .
Sayyiduna al-Aswad bin Sari' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have praised my Lord with some words, and I have said some words in praise of you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for your Lord, He loves praise. Present the words with which you have praised your Lord." The narrator says: So I began reciting my verses. Meanwhile a man came and asked permission to enter. He was a tall man of tawny complexion, whose hair was gone, and who used his left hand more than his right. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me to be silent. Here the narrator Abu Salamah demonstrated how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had silenced him, the way it is done with a cat. Then that man came, talked for a while, and then left. Then I began reciting verses to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again. After a while that man came back, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again made me fall silent; here too the narrator demonstrated how he had silenced him. I said: "Who was this man for whose sake you made me fall silent?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is a man who does not love falsehood. This is Umar bin al-Khattab."
Ahmad recorded it, and Tabarani recorded something similar, in which his words are: A man came in who was tall, with a raised nose, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Be silent."
