حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْلَى بْنِ كَعْبٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَنْشَدَهُ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ قَالَ فَأَنْشَدَهُ مِائَةَ قَافِيَةٍ فَلَمْ أُنْشِدْهُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا قَالَ إِيهِ إِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَفْرَغْتُ مِنْ مِائَةِ قَافِيَةٍ قَالَ كَادَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Azhar b. al-Qasim narrated to us: Abdullah b. Abd al-Rahman b. Ya'la b. Ka'b al-Ta'ifi narrated to us, from Amr b. al-Sharid, from his father: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked him to recite some of the poetry of Umayyah b. Abi al-Salt. He said: So I recited to him a hundred lines of verse, and every time I recited something to him he would say, "Go on, go on," until, when I had exhausted the hundred lines, he said, "He nearly became a Muslim."
