Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #801
Sayings
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَرْدَفَنِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا، فَقَالَ: هِيهِ، حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِئَةَ بَيْتٍ.
Ash-Sharid said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, rode with me behind him and said, "Do you know any of the poetry
of Umayya ibn Abi's-Salt?' 'Yes,' I replied and recited a line. 'Go on,'
he said, until I had recited a hundred lines."
