Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27734 — The Prophet (peace and blessings be)

Amir said that Harithah bin Badr al-Tamimi, who was from Basrah, recited this verse: "When you meet Hamdan, give them our greetings and the message that no enemy who finds fault with Hamdan can remain safe. I swear that the people of Hamdan fear Allah, and their orator judges by the light of the Book of Allah." And he recited this verse: "The hair of my head has turned white, and the thunder and lightning of death have made light of our minds. Our hearts consider death sweet, and life bitter." Amir said: This was related to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "We had more right to these verses than Hamdan."
