One day when I rode behind Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said (to me): Do you remember any poetry of Umayya b. Abu Salt. I said: Yes. He said: Then go on. I recited a couplet, and he said: Go on. Then I again recited a couplet and he said: Go on. I recited one hundred couplets (of his poetry). This hadith has been reported on the authority of Sharid through another chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.  

رَدِفْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْئًا قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ هِيهِ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَقَالَ هِيهِ ثُمَّ أَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا فَقَالَ هِيهِ حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ بَيْتٍ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ أَوْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنِ الشَّرِيدِ قَالَ أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلْفَهُ فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِهِ
