1008. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Dīnār: My father said, "I heard Ibn 'Umar reciting the poetic verses of Abū Tālib: And a white (person — i.e. the Prophet ﷺ) who is requested to invoke Allāh for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the guardian of widows."

Arabic text

1008 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشِعْرِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: « [البحر الطويل] وَأَبْيَضَ يُسْتَسْقَى الغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ ... ثِمَالُ اليَتَامَى عِصْمَةٌ لِلْأَرَامِلِ» ،
