3841. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most true words said by a poet were the words of Labīd." He (Labīd) said, 'Verily, everything except Allāh is Batilu (perishable)', and Umaiyya bin Aṣ-Ṣalt was about to be a Muslim (but he did not embrace Islām). [See Fath Al-Bārī]
3841 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ المَلِكِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَصْدَقُ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَهَا الشَّاعِرُ، كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ: [البحر الطويل] أَلاَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلاَ اللَّهَ بَاطِلٌ ... وَكَادَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ "
