English translation

[5887] (...) It was narrated from 'Amr bin Ash-Sharîd that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ asked me to recite poetry..." a Hadîth like that of Ibrâhîm bin Maisarah (no. 5885), and he added: "He said: 'He was almost a Muslim.” In the Hadīth of Ibn Mahdī it says: “He was almost a Muslim in his poetry.”

Arabic text

1 - وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ كِلَاهُمَا، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطَّائِفِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: اسْتَنْشَدَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، وَزَادَ قَالَ: إِنْ كَادَ لِيُسْلِمُ وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: «فَلَقَدْ كَادَ يُسْلِمُ فِي شِعْرِهِ»
