Hadith 27705
٢٧٧٠٥ - حدثنا محمد بن بشر عن مسعر عن عمرو بن مرة عن خيثمة قال: (أتى عمرَ) (١) (شاعر) (٢) فقال: أنشدك فاستنشده فجعل هو ينشده فذكر محمدا فقال: غفر اللَّه لمحمد بما صبر قال: يقول عمر: قد فعل. (ثم) (٣) أبا بكر جميعًا وعمر فقال: ما شاء اللَّه (٤).
Hazrat Khaythamah narrates that a poet came to Hazrat Umar and said: "Shall I recite poetry to you?" He permitted him to recite, so the poet began reciting poetry and mentioned Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: "May Allah elevate the ranks of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); you endured much hardship with great patience." Hazrat Umar said: "Indeed, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did so." Then the poet recited this verse. Hazrat Umar said: "Whatever Allah wills."
