ahmad:15586Rawḥ > ʿAwf > al-Ḥasan > al-Aswad b. Sarīʿ

[Machine] I said, O Messenger of Allah, should I not recite to you praises and thanks with which I praise my Lord, the Blessed and Exalted? He replied, Indeed, your Lord loves praise.  

أحمد:١٥٥٨٦حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أُنْشِدُكَ مَحَامِدَ حَمِدْتُ بِهَا رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى؟ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ ﷻ يُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ

[Machine] Al-Aswad ibn Sari' said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not recite to you some praises that I have praised my Lord with, Blessed and Exalted?" He said, "Indeed, your Lord, Blessed and Exalted, loves praise and He does not accept any additional praising beyond that." (Correct chain of narrators, but it has not been recorded by either of the two compilers of the Sahih collections).

[Machine] "I was a poetical man and I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I not recite to you some praises with which I praise my Lord?' He said, 'Indeed, your Lord loves praises.' So, he did not increase me."

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, should I not sing to you praises that I have praised my Lord with?" He said, "Indeed, your Lord loves praise." And that is what has increased me.
