Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27695 — The Prophet (peace and blessings be)

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the truest word ever spoken by a poet is the word of Labid." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the first half of his verse and left out its second half. The half-verse is (in translation): "Everything other than Allah is false and perishing." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Umayyah bin Abi al-Salt very nearly accepted Islam."
