(The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, listening to poetry)
Hadith 4787
وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: رَدِفْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ: «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْءٌ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «هِيهِ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا. فَقَالَ: «هيهِ» ثمَّ أنشدته بَيْتا فَقَالَ: «هيه» ثمَّ أنشدته مائَة بَيت. رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Amr bin Shuraid narrates from his father, who said: One day I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you remember any poetry of Umayyah bin Abi Salt?" I replied: Yes! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite it!" I recited a verse to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite more!" Then I recited another verse to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite more!" Until I had recited one hundred verses to him. Narrated by Muslim.
