حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ حَمِدْتُ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِمَحَامِدَ وَمِدَحٍ وَإِيَّاكَ قَالَ هَاتِ مَا حَمِدْتَ بِهِ رَبَّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ أَدْلَمُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيِّنْ بَيِّنْ قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيِّنْ بَيِّنْ فَفَعَلَ ذَاكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي اسْتَنْصَتَّنِي لَهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ هَذَا رَجُلٌ لَا يُحِبُّ الْبَاطِلَ.

Al-Aswad ibn Sari' said: 'I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have praised my Lord the Blessed and Exalted with words of praise and poems of praise, and also praised you. He said: Let me hear what you praised your Lord the Mighty and Majestic with. So I began reciting to him, when a dark-skinned man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Wait, wait. He spoke for a while and then left. I resumed reciting, then the man came again and asked permission. The Prophet said: Wait, wait. This happened two or three times. I said: O Messenger of Allah, who is this person for whom you silenced me? He said: Umar ibn al-Khattab. This is a man who does not like falsehood.'
