حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْلَی عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَنْشَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِائَةَ قَافِيَةٍ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ يَقُولُ بَيْنَ کُلِّ قَافِيَةٍ هِيهْ وَقَالَ کَادَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3758
It was narrated from' Amr bin Sharid that his father said: I recited one hundred verses of the poetry of Umayyah bin Abu Salt to the Messenger of Allah(saw), and after every line he said, "More."' And he said: "He nearly accepted Islam." (Sahih)
