Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2429 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me to recite
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطَّائِفِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : اسْتَنْشَدَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَرْوِي مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْئًا ؟ ، فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ قَافِيَةٍ ، فَجَعَلْتُ كُلَّمَا مَرَرْتُ عَلَى بَيْتٍ قَالَ : I " هِيهِ I " ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " كَادَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فِي شِعْرِهِ .
Sayyiduna al-Sharid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me to recite (poetry) and said: "Do you know any of the poetry of Umayyah bin Abi al-Salt?" So I recited to him (peace and blessings be upon him) a hundred rhymes (that is, a hundred verses), and whenever I reached a verse and paused, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "More!" Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He very nearly became a Muslim because of (the content of) his poetry."
