حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْلَى بْنِ كَعْبٍ الثَّقَفِيَّ الطَّائِفِيَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الشَّرِيدِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ اسْتَنْشَدَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ فَكُلَّمَا أَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا قَالَ هِيَ حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ قَافِيَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَادَ لَيُسْلِمُ.
انگریزی ترجمہ
Abu Ahmad narrated to us: Abd Allah, meaning Ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Ya’la ibn Ka’b al-Thaqafi al-Ta’ifi, narrated to us, who said: I heard Amr ibn al-Sharid narrate from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked me to recite some of the poetry of Umayyah ibn Abi al-Salt, so I recited it to him. Every time I recited a verse to him, he said, "More," until I had recited to him a hundred verses. Then he said, "He nearly became a Muslim."
