Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْعَرُ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَتْهَا الْعَرَبُ كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا اللَّهَ بَاطِلُ.
English Translation
Waki' told us — his father said: Sharik told us — from Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most poetic phrase spoken by the Arabs is the saying of Labid: 'Indeed everything besides Allah is vain.'"
