[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have praised my Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, with praises and commendations, and also praised you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, your Lord, the Exalted, loves praises. Bring forth whatever praises you have for your Lord, the Exalted." So I began to recite them. Then a man, blind, bald, with a maimed right hand and a maimed left hand, entered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to listen attentively to him. Abu Salamah described for us how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ listened attentively to him. He said, "He listened to him as he had listened to a gobbling of a young camel. The man entered and spoke for an hour, then he left. Then I recited my praises again. After some time, the man returned and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to listen attentively to him once again. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, who is the one that you listen attentively to?' He said, 'This is a man who does not love falsehood. This is Umar ibn al-Khattab.'"

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ حَمِدْتُ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِمَحَامِدَ وَمِدَحٍ وَإِيَّاكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ الْمَدْحَ هَاتِ مَا امْتَدَحْتَ بِهِ رَبَّكَ تَعَالَى قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَدْلَمُ أَصْلَعُ أَعْسَرُ أَيْسَرُ قَالَ فَاسْتَنْصَتَنِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَوَصَفَ لَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ كَيْفَ اسْتَنْصَتَهُ قَالَكَمَا صَنَعَ بِالْهِرِّ فَدَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ فَتَكَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ أَيْضًا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَعْدُ فَاسْتَنْصَتَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَوَصَفَهُ أَيْضًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي اسْتَنْصَتَّنِي لَهُ؟ فَقَالَ هَذَا رَجُلٌ لَا يُحِبُّ الْبَاطِلَ هَذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ
