[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have praised my Lord, Most Blessed and Exalted, with praises and commendations, and I have praised only Him." He said, "Tell me what you praised your Lord with." So, I began to recite a poem I had composed, and a dark-skinned man came and asked for permission to enter. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him enter." Then, the man spoke for a while and left. I recited the poem again, and the man returned and asked for permission to enter. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him enter." This happened two or three times. Finally, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is this man that requests permission to speak to me?" He replied, "He is Umar ibn al-Khattab. He is a man who does not like falsehood."
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ حَمِدْتُ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِمَحَامِدَ وَمِدَحٍ وَإِيَّاكَ قَالَ هَاتِ مَا حَمِدْتَ بِهِ رَبَّكَ ﷻ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ أَدْلَمُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيِّنْ بَيِّنْ قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيِّنْ بَيِّنْ فَفَعَلَ ذَاكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي اسْتَنْصَتَّنِي لَهُ؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ هَذَا رَجُلٌ لَا يُحِبُّ الْبَاطِلَ
