[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and recited to him [the poem titled] "The Raging Sea". "O Malik al-Nas and Deyan al-'Arab, I found a particle among the particles. I sought it as food in the month of Rajab. In the narration of Al-Karabissi, I went seeking it, but it left me in conflict and war. It violated the covenant and clung to sin. They are the worst adversary for one who is defeated." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then imitated it and said, "They are the worst adversary for one who is defeated." And Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed us, who reported from Ahmad ibn 'Ubaid, who reported from Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Hulwani, who reported from Ibrahim ibn Ar'ara, who reported from Yusuf ibn Yazid Abu Ma'shar al-Bara', who reported from Tayasala ibn Nubatah al-Mazini, who reported from his father, and Al-Hayy reported from Ash'ha ibn Ma'iz. He said, "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and recited it to him. He remembered it except that he said, 'I married a particle,' and he said, 'I went seeking it,' and he said, 'But it opposed me in conflict and fled.' He did not mention the fifth line. And others have reported from Ibrahim Tayasala ibn Sadakah."
