[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and recited to him [the poem of Hitya ibn al-Rijaz]:
O Malik of the people and judge of the Arabs,
I met a dejection of dejections in the morning,
I sought food from it in Rajab,
But it left me in dispute and fled,
It broke the covenant and clung to sin,
And they are an evil conqueror for the one it conquers,
So the Prophet ﷺ said at that time,
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ[البحر الرجز]يَا مَالِكَ النَّاسِ وَدَيَّانَ الْعَرَبْ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ ذِرْبَةً مِنَ الذِّرَبْغَدَوْتُ أَبْغِيهَا الطَّعَامَ فِي رَجَبْ فَخَلَّفَتْنِي بِنِزَاعٍ وَهَرَبْأَخْلَفَتِ الْعَهْدَ وَلَطَّتْ بِالذَّنَبْ وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبْقَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبْ
