[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ requested me to recite a poem from the poetry of Umayyah bin Abi Salt. So, I recited it to him and every time I recited a verse, he would say, "It is true," until I recited a hundred verses, and he said, "It is as if he is about to convert (to Islam)."  

اسْتَنْشَدَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ فَكُلَّمَا أَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا قَالَ هِيَ حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ قَافِيَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَادَ لَيُسْلِمُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ tapped me on the back and said, "Do you have anything from the poetry of Umayyah?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Recite some to me." So, I recited a verse to him. He said, "Continue." And he kept saying, "Continue" until I recited a hundred verses.  

أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ شَيْءٌ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنْشِدْنِي فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَقَالَ هِيهْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ هِيهْ حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ بَيْتٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards me and asked, "Do you have any poetry from Umayyah ibn Abi As-Salt?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Go ahead," so I recited a verse to him, and he said, "Keep going." I continued to recite, and he kept saying, "Keep going," until I completed one hundred verses.  

أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ»؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «هِيهِ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَقَالَ «هِيهِ» ثُمَّ أَنْشَدْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ «هِيهِ» وَأُنْشِدُهُ حَتَّى أَتْمَمْتُ مِائَةَ بَيْتٍ  

[Machine] I was sitting next to the messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, "Do you have anything from the poetry of Umayyah bin Abi Salt?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Recite it." So, I recited a couplet to him and he kept saying, "Recite more." I continued reciting until I recited him a hundred couplets.  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْءٌ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «هِيهِ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ «هِيهِ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ «هِيهِ» وَأُنْشِدُهُ حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةً بَيْتٍ  

[Machine] I was a companion of the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Do you have any poetry with you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then recite something for me." So I recited a couplet for him, then I remained silent. He said, "Yes?" So I recited another couplet for him, then I remained silent. He said, "Yes?" So I recited another couplet for him, and I continued to recite a hundred couplets for him, then I remained silent and he also remained silent.  

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرٍ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَأَنْشِدْنِي شَيْئًا» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا ثُمَّ سَكَتُّ قَالَ «إِيهِ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا ثُمَّ سَكَتُّ قَالَ «إِيهِ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةً ثُمَّ سَكَتُّ وَسَكَتَ  

" عَن الشَّرِيدِ قَالَ: أرْدَفَنِى النَّبى ﷺ فَقالَ: هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أمَيَّةَ ابْنِ أبِى الصَّلتِ، وَفِى لَفْظ: هَلْ تَرْوِى مِنْ شعْرِ أمَيةَ شَيْئًا؟ قُلتُ: نَعَمْ! فَأنْشَدْتُهُ، قَالَ: هِيهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ: هِيهِ حَتَّى أنْشَدْتُهُ مِائةَ بَيْت، فَقَالَ إِنْ كَادَ لَيُسْلِمُ، وَفِى لَفْظٍ: لَقَدْ كَادَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فِى شِعْرِهِ".
