[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said that Umayyah ibn Abi Salt composed two poems about me. In the first, he described me as a man with a bull at his right foot and an eagle at his left, and a lion watching over him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "He spoke the truth." In the second poem, Umayyah described how the sun rises every night with a reddish hue that turns pink in the morning. Again, the Prophet ﷺ said, "He spoke the truth." Then someone said, "But his verses only bring us punishment and whipping." The Prophet ﷺ still said, "He spoke the truth."  

صدق النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُمَيَّةَ بْنَ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ فِي بَيْتَيْنِ مِنَ شِعْرِهِ فَقَالَ [البحر الطويل] رَجُلٌ وَثَوْرٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلِ يَمِينِهِ وَالنَّسْرُ لِلْأُخْرَى وَلَيْثٌ مُرْصَدُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَدَقَ» قَالَ وَالشَّمْسُ تَطْلُعُ كُلَّ آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ يُصْبِحُ لَوْنُهَا يَتَوَرَّدُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَدَقَ» فقَالَ قائل تَأْبَى فَمَا تَطْلُعُ لَنَا فِي رِسْلِهَا إِلَّا مُعَذَّبَةً وَإِلَّا تُجْلَدُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَدَقَ»
