English Translation
Al-Aswad ibn Sari' said: I was a poet, so I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not recite to you praises with which I praised my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic?" He said: "Indeed, your Lord loves praise." But he did not ask me for more.
