828 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِي: «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْءٌ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «هِيهِ» ، فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هِيهِ» ، فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ: «هِيهِ» ، حَتَّي أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ بَيْتٍ
Amr bin Shuraid narrates from his father: I was riding behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on a mount. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Do you remember any poetry of Umayyah bin Abi al-Salt?" I replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Recite it." So I recited a verse to him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Recite more." I recited another verse to him, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) kept saying, "Recite more," until I had recited one hundred verses to the Prophet (peace be upon him).
