السيوطي:١-٢٦٤b

"عَنْ عَبد الله بْنِ عُبَيْدِ الله بنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ لَبِيدٍ الشَّاعِرِ أَنَّه قَدِمَ عَلَى أَبِى بَكْر الصِّديقِ فَقَالَ: أَلَا كُلُّ شَئٍ ما خَلَا الله بَاطِلٌ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقْتَ، فَقَالَ: وَكُلُّ نعيمٍ لَا مَحَالَةَ زَائِلٌ، فَقالَ: كَذَبْتَ؛ عند الله نعيم لَا يَزُولُ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى، قَالَ أَبُو بكْرِ: رُبَّمَا قالَ الشَّاعِرُ الكلِمَةَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ".
