[Machine] "Al-Aswad ibn Sari' ibn Himyar ibn 'Ubadah ibn al-Nazzal ibn Murrah ibn 'Ubaydah, he had a house in Basra in the presence of the mosque, belonging to the descendants of Banu Tamim. He died during the reign of Muawiyah."  

«الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ سَرِيعِ بْنِ حِمْيَرِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ لَهُ دَارٌ بِالْبَصْرَةِ بِحَضْرَةِ الْجَامِعِ مِمَّا يَلِي بَنِي تَمِيمٍ تُوُفِّيَ فِي عَهْدِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ »  

[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).  

الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ سَرِيعٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أَنْشُدُكَ مَحَامِدَ حَمِدْتُ بِهَا رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَقَالَ «إِنَّ رَبَّكَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَلَمْ يَسْتَزِدْهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُصحيح  

[Machine] I approached the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have composed a poem in which I praised and glorified Allah the Almighty and praised you." He replied, "As for what you praised Allah with, give it to me, and as for what you praised me with, leave it." So I recited the part praising Allah, then a tall man entered and said to me, "Stop." When he left, he said, "Continue." I began reciting again, and before long, he returned and said, "Stop." When he left again, he said, "Continue." So I asked the Prophet of Allah, "Who is this man, O Prophet of Allah, that when he enters, you say 'stop' and when he leaves, you say 'continue'?" The Prophet replied, "This is Umar ibn Al-Khattab, and he does not interfere without reason."  

قَدِمْتُ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَدْ قُلْتُ شَعْرًا ثَنَيْتُ فِيهِ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَمَدَحْتُكَ فَقَالَ «أَمَا مَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَهَاتِهِ وَمَا مَدَحْتَنِي بِهِ فَدَعْهُ» فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ أَقْنَى فَقَالَ لِي «أَمْسِكْ» فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ «هَاتِ» فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ عَادَ فَقَالَ لِي أَمْسِكْ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ هَاتِ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ الَّذِي إِذَا دَخَلَ قُلْتَ أَمْسِكْ وَإِذَا خَرَجَ قُلْتَ هَاتِ؟ قَالَ «هَذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ فِي شَيْءٍ»
