English translation

[5885] 1 - (2255) It was narrated from 'Amr bin Ash-Sharîd that his father said: "I rode behind the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ one day, and he said: 'Do you know anything of the poetry of Umayyah bin Abî Aş-Şalt?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Go on (recite it).' So I recited a line, then he said: 'Go on,' and I recited a line, until I had recited one hundred lines."

Arabic text

1 - (2255) حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: رَدِفْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا، فَقَالَ: «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْءٌ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «هِيهْ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا، فَقَالَ: «هِيهْ» ثُمَّ أَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا، فَقَالَ: «هِيهْ» حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ بَيْتٍ
