Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ بَيْتٍ قَالَتْهُ الشُّعَرَاءُ أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا اللَّهَ بَاطِلُ.

Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us, from Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The most truthful line of poetry ever spoken by poets is: 'Indeed, everything besides God is vain.'"
