حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ رُبَّمَا ذَکَرْتُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَی وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ فَمَا نَزَلَ حَتَّی جَيَّشَ کُلُّ مِيزَابٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَذْکُرُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ وَأَبْيَضَ يُسْتَسْقَی الْغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ ثِمَالُ الْيَتَامَی عِصْمَةٌ لِلْأَرَامِلِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1272
Sâlim narrated that his father said: “Sometimes I remember the words of the poet when I was looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah on the pulpit. He did not come down until all the waterspouts in Al-Madinah were filled with rain. And I remember what the poet said: ‘He has a white complexion and rain is sought by virtue of his countenance, He cares for the orphans, and protects the widows.’ These are the words of Abu Tâlib.” (Hasan)
